I only own Poser5, been happy since sr2.1 came out. I don't do animations so I haven't had hardly any of the problems others have. If I had it over to do again I would have bought Poser4, and pro pack, then bought n upgrade to poser5. I rarely use the Face room (twice I think I've used it), the hair room is neat, but everything Ive done looks like wire, and I still like trans hair better. Content paridise is a joke to me, never used it. Just getting into the cloth room, and there is a lot to it, but its not as easy as the ADs say on the box. I guess it all boils down to what you need to use Poser for. I'm still hoping for a Lightwave plugin for poser 5, and looks like its gunna be a long time coming. Its a tough decision to make, I hope you have an easyer time than I did. I would do it differently like I said if I could do it over again. my 2 cents, hope its informative.
