I wasn't aware of that, Todd.  I didn't pay attention to what others were paying.  Perhaps I got a special rate for being a long term customer.

Anyway… as I said, it's not outrageous at $600/year for all those apps, even though that's about twice what I was used to paying to stay current with Production Premium CS.  

I'm also paying for a lot of apps that I don't use.  That's like my health insurance going up to cover people who use services I don't.  I'm sure not going to start building web sites just because the software to do it is available in my bundle.

If it's not unrealistic, I'd rather Adobe offered tiered services, and had a bundle like Production Premium at a lesser rate.  Or, some sort of pro-rata pricing that's based on the software I use on a regular basis.  I just counted 14 apps I don't think I'll ever use.
