In the end, the whole thing depends on whether or not you have/want to spend money on new Poser content. I have no intention on abandoning V3 for V4. V4 is just something new to play with that I got at a reasonable price because I am a PC member. I even once and awhile use V2 because I have some old, but nice characters for her. The only Poser folk I do not care for are the ones that come with Poser because, IMHO, they are homely. But that is subjective. I know artists here that still love Judy and do nice things with her. I know that some people love Jessi - I think she's ugly. Again, subjective. If money is tight and you are not sure if you want to go with V4, don't buy her until she has been out there for awhile. same goes for Poser 7. Again, just my opinion.
