You don't have to have a pricing entry for every product, for one.
And it has configurable break points. Here is some sample data:
code price_group break price
test1 2 10
test1 5 8
test1 8 7
test1 10 6
At that point, the products:price_group field of a product just
needs to contain 'test1'. The quantity breaks can be different
for every price group.

Few blame themselves until they have exhausted all other possibilities.
