Quote - If we like the figure or not, if we will use it or not, fact is we're paying for it. SM had to pay someone to create them. That means they've sacrifised a feature/improvement or two for it.

I'd rather have a new poser with more improvements instead of paying for figures and content I'll never use.

"SM had to pay somone to create them." does not equal "they've sacrifised (sp) a feature/improvement or two for it."

I could be wrong, but I doubt they are building Poser 8 for you.  They are building for the folks that don't have Poser 4,5,6, & 7.

As a new user, if there had been no content in my copy of Poser 5, there would have been no point in me purchasing.  I may not have used very much of it, but it was a start to my content collection
