It is certainly true. They are aimed at a customer segment (defined 
by the customer's needs and wallet) that can and will pay that price.

It may be a little late now for starting a thread for large school scenarios, but hopefully there will be more (and better prepared) big deployments in the future.
How about expanding the XS wiki page to include strategies for upscaling the XS (maybe on the discussion page for a start)?
