Mehndi: Very nice additional info. Thanks. Bottom line is, noone needs to choose between Saluda, SMV & Zygote's upcoming figure, as if one choice or another means the end of the ballgame. Why not dig into those pockets a little deeper & try at least one of the local guys AND Zygote, if that's at all possible? Saluda & SMV are very reasonably priced. I can't buy either one this week unfortunately because I just spent $600 on business stock & two badly needed hard drives to replace those that crapped out on me, but I definitely plan to buy products not only from the creators of Saluda & SMV but also Zygote when they're done developing a new figure next year. It always makes good sense to support product creators (just as I like to be supported by my own customers!), as long as it doesn't create a serious financial burden. $30 or $75 or whatever is not really a big amount of money nowadays. When a few more developers start using the Pro version of Poser, there's going to be a whole flock of new products out there, but it's up to the average user to get behind all the most talented producers & shell out some bucks once in a while.
