*If you look at price for Poser 7 at the moment ($ 250,-) and the upgradeprice ($130,-), if EF is using the same policy, the upgradeprice for poserpro will a little more than 50% of the full-productprice, which is, considering the features offered, a lot more than I'm willing to pay for it. And be reasonable; who wants to pay more for an upgrade then he has paid for the original product?

What I was saying -- in a roundabout way -- is that the price issue (outside of full price for the "pro" version) remains an unknown at this point in time.
If I was a brand-new hobbyist user -- then $499 might be mucho too high. However, if I was the head of a production department at some 3D house or other, then $499 for easy (maybe - we'll see) integration with my highend applications might be mere petty cash, well spent.
I'll discuss / argue about price in detail -- including whether or not it's worth it -- after we actually know the full pricing structure.
