Two words: WOO HOO!!! For my money, the ability to work natively with high-end applications--in my case Cinema 4D--is worth ANY upgrade price. I've been killing myself for years with jumping through hoops to make Poser animation and C4D work together. When I saw the announcement today that Poser will work with C4D (and on the Mac, even!) I nearly wept for joy. I think it's always been Poser's inability (refusal?) to work with high-end apps that has kept it at the hobbyist level, so this is a big moment for Poser and anybody who has always wanted to untap its true potential. Embrace the possibilities!--Tim
