Have you ever think about the cost factor of SharePoint implementation?
Basically there are three license / edition types available for SharePoint 2010 - Foundation, Standard, and Enterprise. Foundation is a free download, you can download it from Microsoft Site and perform basic SharePoint operations (doc management, collaboration etc) without paying anything for SharePoint License.
Standard and Enterprise editions require the purchase of SharePoint Server 2010 and licensing of the requisite feature set. Standard edition provides the features like web analytics, Content organizer, Document Sets etc along with the Foundation features
The Enterprise CAL is additive (i.e., you must already have the Standard CAL), and the Enterprise license will enable users to experience advanced features like Business Data Web Parts, Excel Services, Chart WebParts. It also provides the opportunity to add on a license for FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint.
The detailed feature comparison can be found at http://www.sharepointedutech.com/2010/08/12/sharepoint-2010-version-comparison-table/
When it comes to pricing, the following are the common licensing/cost components
The above option will only allow you to setup intranet/extranet sites.

There is another option called Volume Licensing, which could offer you better rates. Check microsoft licensing site for details...
