Would you guys be more happy if you got EVERYTHING you get now for free. In other words, nothing would be taken away. However, if you are a crazy numbers person or just totally love the website, you can pay to access more in-depth numbers. What do you think?

This I think would be much better. People don't like having stuff that was free now being something you have to pay for. Paying for additional manipulation tools that do not exist may be a route that some people may look at, though.

As for the prices that ioi mentioned above, I think that while the $99 price when broken down isn't too bad, it does have that sticker shock for the average user. Note what MS does with Live: if the $50 is too scary for a year, you can get 1 month for $8, or 3 months for $20. Keeping things close to that $99/year price, might I propose the following: 1 week for $5 (for those who really just want to do a lot fast, though if you want simplification, this could be dropped), 1 month for $10, 3 months for $25, or 12 months for $90. This way, people can get it in the size (and price) chunks that works best for them, without feeling like they're committed, or avoiding the highest price right away.
