I looked at the differences of Carrara 5 standard vs Pro...and really only a couple of attributes would make me want to spend the very extra $$ to go Pro;

*Saving and re-use of irridescent maps.

*Network rendering.

And...that's still not enough to make me more than double my money to go Pro. ($196 vs. $444)

But, hey...if I had the money laying around, sure. ;o)

Yet, this year is turning out to be quite expensive for me already (from other reasons), and it looks as if attending Siggraph this year (in Boston) will be out of the question, much less buying Carrara before the DAZ sale is over. But, I know me...I'll cough up the extra $55 and pick it up later on in the year when I can.
