This is a great question for which I do not have an equally great answer,
however, if you send a design out for bid and nobody wants to touch it, you
hve gone too far!  Actually, if you visit the web sites of the major
manufacturers you will find some very good design guidelines that break
complexity into standard, advanced, and premium (or other terms) and may
include the cost adder for increasing complexity.
