Quote - I only use Vues rendering engine for poser scenes - nothing else. To get the best out of it you need phyton scripts and that only comes with the Infinite versions. So yes, that's a high price to pay.

My understanding is that ALL versions of Vue, from the cheapest to the most expensive, will be able to run Python scripts. 

Also, now you'll be able to update the lowest Vue product all the way to Complete, which is basically the same as Infinite minus a few pro features which aren't used by many. And certainly Complete is more affordable than Infinite or xStream. I think this covers a lot of groud...of course the  proof is in the final product..whenever it comes out.
