Ah, Now I got it: when they made a 64bit- version after the 32bit-version, they thought that besides the bitrate they could also double the price, that really makes sense isn't it?
Oh please come on !, let's be real people, this is just an ordinary, much overdued upgrade. We only have to pay more because there's a "pro" tag on it.
Suppose autodesk or maxon doubled the price of their products: everybody  would stick with the old version until they had to lower the price because no one would buy it, and this is what I think that  will happen with poser-"pro"

and by the way, I like poser 7 very much inspite of the initial problems, in my opinion you use it too little if you don't like it. The multiple Undo-item alone  just gives the upgrade its value, but also the better multiple runtime-handling, the multiple processor rendering, the faster clothroom, the morph tools, do I have to go one? There are things that I haven't used like the talk-editor on the animations layer so I can't comment on that, but anyone who complains on poser7 should make more effort to get acquintated with it. I had the same issue with Hexagon 2.2, in the begin I hated it because it crashed to much, but after I learned to avoid the pitfalls I just loved it. And I agree that crashes have to be avoided with proper error-trapping but what would you expect from a sub-$500,- program. I paid €3000,- for Autocad and even that  has its crashes once in  while.

And can someone explain what a psychophant is?  a psychotic elephant? I'm only dutch and bablefish didn't give me some help.
