I agree with most of what agiel said but probably will get Poser 7 due to the speed increases alone.  Especially in preparation for when I can afford an intel Mac which e-frontier is reporting will experience speed increases of 200-300%.

Thus far, the new features & changes e-frontier is advertising for Poser 7 does make me feel that this time, the upgrade will actually warrant buying it.  In the past, the changes to new versions didn't seem so great (ie: Poser 5 to Poser 6).  This time however, it appears to be a different story.  Especially when reading what Poser 7's beta testers have been able to share without infringing their NDA's.

I don't plan to pre-order since I'm not wild about the promised new content.  I prefer to wait and see how smooth running this version will be.  But if they continue reporting new features and speed increases as they have so far, I most likely will take the plunge and upgrade.

I dare you, while there is still time, to have a magnificent obsession. --William Danforth
