Any plans for business-lite, home-pro licensing?

I've been going back and forth trying to decide if I should renew the business license which came with my hardware, but it's really hard to swallow the price for a home user. Well, the time has come, and my license expires in a couple of weeks. I was surprised to see that the 3y license price went up from 359 to 399EUR. I was on the fence at 359, never got the chance to renew even once, and the price is already up.

This price increase definitely seals it for me - I will be switching to community edition. I would sign up in a heartbeat for something around 75EUR/year so I can stay on a slower, more stable release cycle and so I could support the project more than I already have. I understand that that costs are going up, but consumers are also starting to watch their spending and I think Deciso is pricing out home users. I'm sure I'm not the only one that will end up contributing 0EUR to the project only because of the lack of distinction between home and business.
