I'd recommend contacting each company and asking them directly what their consulting license looks like. While Nessus' price is good, working with large clients, it is best practice to have multiple Security Scanners to catch everything. Large clients like to know that you are using commercial tools along with freeware. Usually one engagement with a client, pays for the consulting license of the product itself.
 Good luck.
