Nobody asked me, but...
There are a number of database templates like this around - from the Organizers Collaborative, NCNC, Salesforce, and from Tim Mills-Groninger, to name a few. These are all free or fairly economically priced.
6,000 seems a high price for a product whose competitors are fairly well-established and much cheaper.
What am I missing?

I am not saying this with Metrix specifically, but when you go to the NTC in April in Washington (REGISTER NOW at http://nten.org/ntc-register), the exhibit hall will be filled with a dozen solutions to the same problems and it all seems quite overwhelming to me to figure out.>>
