Uh... $45? You need to stop paying attention to way-out-of-date listings. Here are the current prices for WinHex, converted to USD courtesy of Yahoo! Finance:
Personal: $53.34 (37.73 EUR)
Professional: $96.98 (69.90 EUR)
Specialist: $271.78 (195.90 EUR)
I give it a 3 because the usability could use a huge boost.

It costs a king's ransom and the interface needs work and the author is a bit arrogant, but nonetheless it's by far the best hex editor going.

IMHO still the best tool for cloning hard drives, i must admit that is the main reason i use it for, this and some hex editing. i rate it 5 because of it's unbelievable features.
