I got Hex 1 as soon as it was released and got it at a good price because I have carrara , I upgraded to Hex2 as soon as I saw the videos and feature list :) I have Zbrush 2 but have found the UI and learning curve hard compared to other modelling programs :( Now with hex 2 I can say bye bye to Zbrush :) I also Have silo and was going to upgrade to Silo 2 but i dont know that i will now , hex 2 seams to offer more than silo now :) Hex is so easy to model in for me I love it :) And Hex/Carrara5 and poser6 is a great combo :)
