I don't have much experience with the exact topic, but anyone throwing phrases like "100x more difficult" very quickly loses credence with people.

How do you measure 100x? How come it isn't 90x or 112x?

Does that mean what one engineer can do with a commercial database, you would need 100 people do the the same thing with OSS in the same time frame?

If you used a phrase like "difficulty on another level" or something descriptive like that instead, I'm sure people would be more interested to hear what you have to say.
