OK, my comment was on the (perceived by the persons who are to patron)
ROI for the additional cost.

I don't know where you happen to work but with my experience with my
employers paying few thousands for an implementation was not a proble,
don't forgeth that I live in Macedonia a country with average salary
of ~200 euros, they have a problem using that esoteric language called
lisp.

I can grok the individual periods, but not the idea of this phrase. What
you say is that paying money (high in relation to wages) is not a
problem, _except_ when connected to an esoteric language (one of them
being Lisp)?

In my country average programmer wage is something around 400 euro,
(don't hold me for it I don't make a full scale statistic). LW &
scieneer are starting from 1200 / 1500 euros. Any self-respecting
company would not have a problem buying a license if they feel that
their business need it. The problem is to convince that they need lisp
to help them run their business.

This is near to what I'm saying: "the perceived ROI..."

Second most of the companies I know don't want to use OpenSource
tools at all. They want a vendor. YMMV

Yes, here the mileage varies very much!
Don't get me wrong we have a lot of LAMP (p stands for PHP) shops,
also there is shops using FreeBSD & Java but I never heard of anybody
using python nor ruby.
