I couldn't advise you on ordering P7 (did you go through the efrontier website, or Content Paradise?), but I can tell you that the problems mickmca is having aren't typical across the P7 userbase.

The Delete issue was handled with the SR1 release, and other than the lighting issue, I haven't encountered any other the other problems he's got in the 4 or so months I've had P7.

However, if you're main interest is in regards to exporting a poser image to Vue for rendering, I'd say don't bother getting P7. A lot of the improvements are geared toward better rendering (support of dual-processor systems reduces render times, though maybe not enough to compete with Vue), and while Poser 7 does handle memory better, a large enough scene with multiple Mil 3 figures will result in blank renders. And I seem to remember hearing that Vue and P7 don't exactly work together as well as Vue and P6, but that may be another aspect of Poser's "different machine, different problem" problem.

So, unless you're having issues with importing scenes from P6 into Vue, or are actually interested in rendering in Poser, there's little that P7 has that P6 doesn't already do for you.
