Perhaps a way to keep the price down would be to have a modular approach to any new version of Poser, like C4D does.
A base program, and modules for Hair, Face Room, etc.
Add on only what you need. A Material Room is essential IMO, but
I never use the Hair Room, or SetUp Room or Face Room, but love the Cloth Room.
Seem I'm paying for things I never use or want to.
