I'm in Canada too, so $800 or so. Not counting shipping. So my quick figures are not that far off. I have PSP and Painter9.5. Do I really need to buy PS? I Don't Think So!

I just bought a duelcore for about half that. On a fathersday sale.

Bryce will never be a smooth transition to Poser. Daz's way is to use Poser through DS to get to Bryce and would prefer you to just use DS. They tried a poser script but never worked well. I don't even know if they offer it. But you might want to check on that incase the still do.

I have not even bothered to install Bryce 6.1. Not because I don't like it. I have Carrara 5pro that works well with Poser, not sure what will happen with C6 it may go the way of Bryce. I use Vue6I for most of my Poser exports now. It uses Poser so you can pose, use dynamics and use poser shaders if you want.
