Well, you can get older versions of ZBrush cheaper. In my opinion the best Morphing app. I'm kind of trapped with Zbrush 2 as I'm on a pre Intel mac, and am not going to switch anytime soon. Don't know too much about the windows OS but it seems that it is updated a lot less frequently, you could probably get ZBrush 3 for about $150.00 (Windows XP SP2/Windows Vista/Windows 7) which is a terrific price. I'm perfectly happy with the functionality of ZB2 and version 3 added a lot of features, including GoZ. Also, I found ZBrush not at all difficult to learn on a basic user level. Read the manual, read some tutorials.
