Maybe this is a new business opportunity.  What do "Enterprise" DNS providers change?
Cheers

Working with a previous client about 1.5 years ago, we asked Dyn and UltraDNS to send proposals over. UltraDNS was 3x 
the Dyn quote, and we were satisfied from personal experience with Dyn before. When I explained to the UltraDNS rep why 
we went with Dyn, they said "Oh, I thought you were looking for an enterprise provide". Another vendor I don't plan on 
ever using (or even considering) again.
