The $1k price of Resolve is irrelevant in my opinion. Resolve has thirty years of development behind it with the Reniassance, DUI, 2K and all in there plus all of the development of the Linux version. Having looked at Scratch, Speed Grade, Film Master, etc. I think Resolve is a deeper and more reliable toolset that I would take any day over scratch, etc. Remember that Resolve on Linux was price competitive with Baselight and Lustre at the high end just a year or so ago. At the rate BMD is adding features and responding to user requests for bug fixes and added functions I think Resolve is still far more competitive than most of the "low end" grading apps and still pretty competitive with machines many times it's fully kitted out price.
