I would buy Poser 6 because
-What we've seen of the new figures looks promising
-People who's work I trust (RDNA) were apparently involved with the development of the figures
-better lighting that seems to integrate better with the firefly render engine
-Good value at the price
-Winter Queen package looks interesting
-figures are more fully integrated with Poser's features than the Mil figures. Having the morph areas subdivided is such a bonus! No scrolling through 100 morphs to tweak the nose.
-Figure diversity. For all their morphs, it is near impossible to make a vicky or mike that looks different in the face from every other vicky and mike.

I haven't bought Poser 6 because
-I would like to see some good, full body nude shots and some shots of the bodies in poses - to see if the joint setup is at all improved. Extreme poses would be even better to show off the shoulders, hips and knees
-The slew of bugs Poser 5 was released with makes me a little skeptical of CL. I generally don't buy software before SR 1 anyway.
-Other than the lighting impovements, I'm not sure the other new features are anything that will be of consistent use ro me
-I just BOUGHT poser 5 - the day before 6 was announced!
-I want to see what merchant/freebies support the new figures get
-I'd like to see a list of head and body morphs for James and Jessie
That said, 'would' is winning.
