Frankly I don't want to model figures--I want to use my creative time in composing a image--not all of us have that talent.  If one wants a great environment in which your Poser figures can live, you can't get better than even the cheaper Vue Complete--hell Hollywood has adopted it for realistic environments even before the price for Inifite went through the roof.  I guess my point is, all of us have different priorities and using a more expensive "advanced" software doesn't necessarily mean that someone will get superior results.  You can give 2 people a pallate and brushes and a canvas and one might create a masterpiece using the materials at hand and one may produce something horrible looking.  All these programs as Sam pointed out have their pluses and minuses.

I guess my point, work-arounds not withstanding, is that the end result is the most important thing rather than the procedure used.
