I'd go with SamTherapy, except for the caveat that I went from P3 direct to P5 ('cos I didn't have internet connection then so didn't know about P4).. :-) Maybe I got lucky, but I've been using P5 for some time now and am very happy with it. OK, it has its faults, but with the latest SRs installed it is (according to what I've read in this forum, and others): - At least as stable as P4/P4-Pro - A bit slower in some aspects than P4 (esp. rendering). - Has several major advantages over P4 (mainly: the cloth room, for dynamic clothing; the Firefly renderer for ray-tracing effects; the materials room for much more control over the appearrance that can be applied to an object or figure. Also there's Hair room (which I'm still trying to come to "hair-grips" with) and the face room (which I've left totally alone since I discovered that it only really worked with Don and Judy, and never to my satisfaction at that). Oh, and "Contents Paradise" which (IMHO) should be eliminated ASAP..:-)) All in all, I reckon it's a very worthwhile upgrade. It needs a bit of time to get to grips with its new features, but I really think it's worth the effort. Cheers, Diolma
