Thanks for the calculations Rynn. I'll check it out as well on upgrade costs should I purchase Espirit and later wish to jump to Infinite. As for your own software version and spending capabilities, never feel bad about that. The latest and greatest software prices always has sales or discounts (especially when the next generation comes out). If I cashed in on every upgrade (I have Poser 5 - not getting 6 @ this point, Bryce, Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc.), I'd be eating noodles with no pasta for life (laughs). I know exactly where you're coming from so stay proud of what you've purchased as others have without. Thanks again for your input! T'
