Okay the render queue sounds good, that is definitely something I'd want. I hadn't heard about it at all, thanks for pointing that out Dauphine.

I didn't say the Pro figures were bad, I said they didn't justify it for me spending $200 to upgrade. :)

And - hah - I take it PPro isn't capable of using SubD which Daz is getting so fond of, either? So for that stuff I would still have to switch from this "Pro" version into another package altogether to use any SubD? (Just wondering)

Thanks Garee. I still maintain I can get the same thing out of P7, but if PPro renders faster and good quality, I might reconsider it.

Like I said, I wish they had a 30 Day guarantee so we could trial buy it. :) But I get why they don't. :)
I also wish they'd actually made a distinction between P6 and P7 owners when it comes to pricing.
I feel put out considering I spent money on every upgrade - and then they allow people to skip an upgrade for the same price. That REALLY irks me. I'd like to see at least a $50 difference in prices between versions there.
But alas, loyalty isn't rewarded these days. Getting new customers is more important than holding on to your old ones.
