*"How can you be sure it hasn't happened with Poser 7 if you don't try it?"

Can anyone with Poser6 and Poser7 both installed help me out here? Can you take the same file (preferrably a V3 with a bikini, some hair, and maybe a few props - nothing fancy) and render it using the P4 rendering engine in both programs, and tell me if Poser7 can do it in half the time? Or even close?

Seriously, if anyone here can testify that the answer is an "honest" yes, then I'll eat my words and head on over to EF and place an order today. I'd actually like nothing better :)

I'm actually really interested in hearing the results others have had. At this point there's no need for computer specs since the comparison is only between 2 versions of the same program on the same computer (actually, if anyone has P4, Propack, or P5 installed, I'd be interested in comparing those with Poser7 as well).  I'd like to know how long a single framed image takes to render using each version using the P4 rendering engine? (with all the options turned on - shadows, antialiasing, etc.)  ...and of course, it wouldn't hurt to see the image.

Thanks!
