Good points Gareee, though I really can't complain about Hexagon because I payed very little for it and now I'm getting the upgrade for free.  I remember the original Hexagon buyers howling when Daz sold it so cheaply to Platinum Club Members.

I was looking to Quidam to become a more powerful Poser competitor, but since it's so expensive I can't afford to buy it and I'm not sure if it will ever take off.  Plus content for it is through the roof.

Competition is good as long as you can still use your legacy content.  If, for instance, Daz Studio would old use special Daz Studio content exclusively it becomes a much more expensive propostion to replace a content library.
