I have it and I like it. I guess it depends on how much time you spend on any one program, but I am impressed with it. I look at the dollars to time and Poser is so well worth it especially since I don't have that much time to learn all about the high end programs...I have Vue and Bryce but mostly I like poser since I am used to it and Poser 6 renders and loads much faster. The only hitch to Poser 6 I had was the windows firewall...once I turned that off it has been doing very well...the new lights are great and I have barely had time to spend on the other rooms anyway so getting the high end programs really pales compared to upgrading my Poser!.... just my 2 cents, but poser has come a long long way since I first jumped in on poser 2.....
