About those high-end plugins: it's Reiss BodyStudio 2.7, unchanged. Which is infamous for its instability, lack of features, and overpricing.
Don't buy Pro for the Max/Maya/C4D plugins.
I bought Pro, but for other reasons: full 64 bit rendering, network rendering, and Collada.
The 64 bit render engine works as it should. I am now able to render scenes that were impossible under Poser 7.
The network rendering is less useful than I hoped: it is not possible to network render a still (like Vue can do, for example).
I haven't tested the Collada functionality yet. The P7 beta exporter works, but is extremely limited.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
