Unfortunately, if you want XSI to cover most of the functionalities of Cinema4D (which would justify getting it in my case), you end up with $2000 without the advanced Cloth module (and $7000 with the Cloth module).... which, to me, still puts XSI in the big 4s. Cinema4D modular pricing model is still more attractive than XSI steeper prices (although the idea of having Mental Ray and particules in XSI Foundation is mightly interesting).
