Well, i agree, choosing a framework (or even a language) is often dictated by someone else. However, I've succeeded in sticking with WebObjects (http://www.apple.com/webobjects) since 1997, and that's worked well for my company. Sometimes going in stealth mode has helped -- we don't sell the tools we use, we sell the solutions we build with them.
We're WebObjects developers, for BlueCross (CareFirst), federal Government, and others. Java is the only way we'd ever recommend, and we'd definitely go with the premier web application envrionment.
But the real answers lies within; you should develop in the environment that is your strength. Does your 11 developers have experience in dot-net? Then via con dios.

Where'd you learn economics, bullshit-boy? What is " "exclusive" small market prices."? So BMWs are more expensive BECAUSE they're 'exclusive'? Perhaps there are fewer of them (less supply), thus higher prices.
I have successfully employed almost every member of my wife's family (including father in law). They are the most conscientious, hard working, clever people I've come across, so it has been a no-brainer.
Family employees have a down side -- you (and they) can't be too sensitive, and have to leave work problems at work. But just the security of knowing I can ABSOLUTELY trust them makes up for any negative aspects.
The sum of all the costs to create a product or provide a service does not make up the price. The price is determined by market conditions (the demand curve, etc.).
As for bandwidth, providers buy 'chunks' of bandwidth, and generally not charged on a metered basis. As far as my experience goes, few interenet users pay on a metered basis, and in actuality vast amounts of bandwidth go unconsumed.

Sheesh.

Go for it!
