thanks for your reply, my response:
* price is irrelevant, since the client already has a few in-house developers claiming spaghetti-code is also free, there is also a wide spaghetti codebase already running.
* this is a good point, generally speaking, but again, some devs resist it saying they don't care for outside developers looking into their code anyway.
* good point
* is there any study you're aware of that can be quoted?
