usage and full rights, pricing

Hi everyone!
I recently read the thread on "How to sell more articles" by Constant on this forum
http://www.constant-content.com/forum/v ... =4&t=14568
The post mentioned that statistically articles which only have usage rights sell less than articles that have both usage and full rights available. My question is is the opposite also true? Do articles with only full rights and no usage available get diminished sales compared to one that has both rights?
I guess this question came about because one of my articles sold for usage. I generally price the usage at 50 percent off the full rights price. I was expecting the article to sell for full, and now I'm having doubts about the 50 off that I use, as the article can now only be sold for usage, and as I read from the post the chances of finding a second buyer is diminished, so I think I sold myself short in my usage price. How much percentage do you generally slash off from your full rights price for usage? Also, is it more advantageous to just charge for full rights and leave out the usage rights?
