Is it financially smart to put all your eggs in one basket or to look at more markets to sell RF?  I haven't tried Getty or Corbis yet and have hardly any RF photos with alamy.  There are lots of other places too.  I have spread my portfolio around a lot on the lower priced sites and istock usually makes around 30% of my income.  I can't see it being a smart decision for me to go exclusive there in the foreseeable future.

Most of designers don't care about prices. The difficulty to find the perfect image is more important than finding lower prices. They always have to deal with deadlines, limited budget is second in the priority order.

You can look at how the Vetta collection is successful, as an example of that.

That may be true for some, but not all.  Surely there are designers who are also looking for the best price.  Some of them may not care about exclusivity of an image.  Also, buyers are not all designers.  I'm just saying that if you have your collection split up into several different price points for buyers, then you shouldn't make it difficult for them to find the image that they need at any particular point.
