Hey DE, long time no see :-) Why not download the demo version of Poser 6 and play with it for a while? It's a no risk way to find out exactly how steep the curve would be. For me, I moved to P5 around 2 years ago and wouldn't have looked back, even as buggy as it was. Since I got P6, I'm loving it even more, especially the cloth room, which now works much faster than under P5. The materials room alone is worth it for me, and the lighting, although I haven't investigated that much yet, is lightyears (haha) ahead of PPP. You can link your existing runtime from within P6, it's as simple as pressing a button and browsing to the folder on your hard drive. No drag and drop required :-)
