Whatever feature makes your product the most unique should be the one they have to pay for.
Who cares if a lot of people are using something you created if you're not making any money?????
I use the free software Irfanview all the time. I don't know who designed it and I don't give a shit. Notoriety only means something if people actually know who you are, and since most of the world doesn't give a shit about programmers - go for the money. I'd rather make $50,000 from 2000 customers than $0 from 5,000,000 customers ....... customers who couldn't give a shit about who I am or what I've done.
