I think anytime you put "pro" in the title of a 3d app, they (the developers) have to understand that you are committing to making a piece of software that will be part of a pipeline. 

This is a serious commitment.  I've worked for several companies where this is true. 

When a feature is not working as it should, you get a call, not from a user/hobbyist, but from the technical director of a MAJOR production.  I guarentee you, these calls are not friendly and if the issue(s) cannot be resolved, the entire app can eventually get blackballed by the industry (news travels fast in those circles).

If Poser Pro needs to be expensive to meet those industry needs, so be it.  I VERY much look forward to seeing poser reach that pro level.
