I had no idea laser support wasnt included in the 3 month version - was going to keep doing experiments with the software exactly for this feature.
It does not mean I have a laser scanner, but I have access to one which is fun.
I agree with some of the other guys about the pricing, I’d be happy with the 2500 images + laser scan support - especially since I have to export everything to PTX! yuck 
and I agree that CLI is an advanced feature that is worth the money in the advanced version.
Having already spent 4K on photoscan after months of testing (seriously it took 12 months) I find that most of the features I use now are actually available on the basic version. The other problem is the Australian dollar is so bad right now I will never buy anything above 1K. I own zbrush, Adobe suite, 3D coat etc and all those packages are under 1K.
Its possible CapturingReality simply started the price high, because once you drop the price you cannot go back up
