Quote - I don't think someone should buy a modeler until they have tried some of the free ones and demos to see if they even like to model. Modeling app are very personal. It is what works best for you, not what someone tells you works best for them. Don't go spending big bucks on something you might not like doing on an app that you don't like using.
I definitely agree with this. Before I put any money out for modeling apps, I used anim8tor and gmax for a few months (gmax is no longer available, unfortunately).
I recommend that you get anom8tor and wings3d (both fre) and try your hand at modeling first to see if you like it enough to justify paying what a good modeling program costs.
You may also discover (as a lot of others have) that the free modelers meet your needs adequately, in which case there is no need to put out any money at all for a modeller.
