Whilst cheaper than buying a completely new version of Poser by well over half, it's not a great deal shy of the upgrade price.And if you wanted the full functionality of all the plug-ins, then the total setback would be $272.30 - which is even more than a full version of Poser 7. > > JonTheCelt

You forgot to mention the recently released pwEffect which adds in a bunch of procedural stuff that I think Poser can do in the Material Room with the Math nodes.  Stuff like Noise, Edge Blending, Cellular and fBm and many many other effects.  I'm working on a procedural Skin right now using it and I'm having some pretty good results so far.  It's a bit to learn but I like learning in an interface that makes it much more to my liking than the Material Room in Poser!!   That would bring the total up, with sales price, to $112.17, still less expensive than Poser. 

As someone has mentioned, it's not the tools but the artist behind the tools and the creativity they put into the work and getting the render to look right.  I've seen some renders from both apps. 

Oh and to address Mock's mocking attitude:  As for Studio users pilfering or "cherry picking" Poser freebies, that's not a statement I would agree with in the least.  Considering I have done MANY freebies for Apollo and just finished up the Vittorio "Bruno" freebie (full on texture pack) and made sure the Poser version was just as nice looking as the Studio version says to you folks that have a one sided opinion about "DAZites" that I'm giving back to the community in spades and hearts!!   Sheesh!  HOW RUDE!!
