I haven't gotten to the figure creation or other advanced features yet, but I LOVE the multiple views - makes working much more efficient. I've tried out some of the python scripts and use a couple routinely. You don't need to know Python to use the scripts. I'm planning to buy bushi's Face Shaper, which is python based and works with Mac or PC Poser 4 with ProPack. I expect there will be more add-ons like that available that will add features to Poser. None of these alone may be worth the price to you, but you'll probably be glad you got it.
