Well, sounds to me like you have invested a lot and don't "need" Vicki3 yet. I just bought Vicki2 a while ago, so I didn't have a lot invested and got Vicki3 at Platninum Club price + Upgrade. So for me doing still high fine art (whatever that is) Vicki3 really fit the bill. The new morphs are fantastic, and the higher quality joint fixed mesh of Vicki3 really sold me. One thing to consider. Daz as a lot of other mechants are now going to be coming out with Vicki3 things. You might want to grab the discounted Vicki3 now at the cheap price and save yourself some money, even if she sits on the shelf for a few months, down the road you will be saving yourself some cash when/IF you do need to use her. you said your doing comix, well Vicki3 sure has a lot of Characters with all the morphs, and you get a LOT of milage out of her this alown might be enough for the jump, just think of all the different people that will start showing up in your comix. I dunno, for me it was a no brainer, the discounts, cheap price, and not a lot invested. For you, little investment now, save a bit, tweak some if ya have some time, you could see a BIG pay off in the next few months. Hard call. Money only growes on trees in my renders, I have to weigh each purchase for my Poser collection. Good luck.
