That's true, and as I said I ended up not using the MA code as is, 
but rewrote what I needed in the way I needed it.

I bought the IAR Kickstart kit for $195, and MakeApp for the 
LPC2104/5/6 comes with that.  But I also believe they sell the 
MakeApp ala cart for other devices for about $150-$200 too.  So let's 
just call it $200 for MakeApp.

The value of the example code you get easily pays for itself.

I was told by one sales person from another compiler company that the 
reason they charge/justify the $XXXX prices is because of the 'good 
examples' they provide you with that get you up and running quickly.  
Agree or not, that is one of their sales points.  Example code is 
worth a lot.

So yes I think the biggest value in MakeApp is the example code it 
provides.  No question about it.  But we are splitting hairs.  
Whether I use their code as is, or read it for example material, it 
is still helping me get my code/project done. And after all that's 
what its all about.
