I'm curious as to what applications people here would love to own but are either too expensive or that people don't feel they'd use enough to justify the cost?

For me, it would probably be FileMaker 9. At $300, I don't think I'd make enough use of it to justify the cost, though I'm sure I could come up with a few uses at least (been playing with Bento over the last few days and have been coming up with a few nice ideas for good uses, however).

Since the Topic doesn't say for OS X or other.

My pick would be Houdini Master, used it in linux and absolutely love it for particles and dynamics animation work. The software cost $7,999 though.

Maya
Z-Brush
Final Cut Studio 2
For that matter, I wouldn't mind a copy of Shake or Motion.
