Quote -  I'm not sure what you mean about the 7.4 update, but all bug fixes for Vue 7 Infinite will propogate down to Complete in time.

I agree with you, Vue 7 Complete has 95% of what I need. I do program in Python though and need Infinite for that.

Check out the Comparison page (link), and look down - there are many references to "With 7.4 Update" ... which includes (Infinite only unless stated):

• Multi-processor EcoSystem population
• Paint material distributions at the surface of terrains (both)
• Import, view and edit distribution maps in the Terrain Editor (both)
• Terrain effects optionally affect material distribution map (both)
• Multi-processor procedural terrain construction
• Hide objects from render and disable lights by clicking their icon in World Browser
• Multi-processor panoramic rendering
• Sky preview with clouds
• Realistic MetaCloud preview
• Dynamic plant display optimization
• Support for Sketchup 7 (Win 32 only)

I noticed it in passing, but sounds like a few new things are going to appear before 7.5.
