I've never looked closely at their pricing, since we're a small shop and are doing reasonably well on our own so far, but if the prices are all-or-nothing in the range of thousands of dollars per year, as you write, then yes, I agree with you there's a gap in their support offering. Or maybe there are other companies offering bacula support / consulting which are able to fill this gap (as I'd expect with an opensource enterprise-grade software)...
