Yeah, you do. It starts with a $10,000 seat of Autodesk software, and adds up quickly after that. Go through the entire kit some time - and by that I mean EVERYTHING that you get - and add up the retail prices of all the items. You will be surprised at just how much you do get for the cost of the kit.
