From the potential demonstrated by the demo videos on Eovia's site I would have to say that Hexagon2  intrigues me like no other modeler in or out of its price range, so yeah, I would have somehow justified paying the SRP. I am almost delerious about soon getting it for little more than the cost of a Platinum Club membership! I imagine Hexagon will undergo "growing pains", and may have a few bugs, but if DAZ has any inkling of what they've got here, as far as the potential of both Carrara and Hexagon, they will keep the development teams busy at their usual brisk pace. 

The demo makes it look as if the basic polymodeler is a "box modeler" similar to Wings, though with a different manipulator, and interface. The displacement brushes allow you to take that basic box model and add tremendous amounts of organic detail ala ZBrush, and the 3D texture painting program's basic engine is based on Genetica Pro. You can import your own textures as well, if I remember correctly. and paint the model while rotating it in 3D ala Bodypaint, or the old Painter3D.

Now, if we can export the displacement and texture maps like ZBrush and apply them to a lower poly mesh that has been boned and rigged in Carrara, we can make tremendously detailed and convincing animations or stills.
