We are also planning to move the source code into a central repository, and spend some time improving and optimising the exporters. So I expect the exporters to improve in quality.

thanks for answering me, i needed to have it a bit more clear..
some more thoughts regarding the price and so on. beta price sounds adequate, but now, when indigo went commercial, i have to also think commercial (even i don't want to), so i cant rely on temporary discount and investment, for 4 (master + 3 node) licenses for my Helmer is 1480€ for Indigo and 1780€ for Maxwell.. Indigo is probably better in image quality, but from now it is also matter of user comfort / cost / productivity / speed / documentation / learning curve for new users / etc. ratio. image quality in not enough for commercial users, client's first question is when it will be done and second how much will it cost. and now i am thinking about new potential users of indigo, not about the ones who already overmastered the engine. Indigo have to provide features which other don't to be attractive for new users and does matter in real production..
