I've only used V4 once since jumping on the bandwagon and getting her when she first came out.  Now I picked up the A4 Starter pack, but it's more for the reasons Sivana mentioned, it was a good deal.  I figured better to spend 15 bucks now then twice as much sometime later.

Mind you, there was a time when i justified this whole hobby with using it for commercial purposes, but those times have fast diminished and what profit I made never did compare to money spent.  A little profit early on sent me into a spending frenzy from which i still have not fully recovered.

I can't self justify the money I've spent on Poser and Daz (and Renderosity, et al) with the excuse of "bobbies cost money".  I'm really at a loss.

By the time I use A4 and V4 they probably will be sold in some clearance sale because V5 and A5 have just been released.

Ergh...
