The following is my personal opinion, clearly labeled as such.

I will add that I heard many of the same arguments about V4 when she was released, and we see how much she was held back. In my own opinion, the technical complaints I see being posted are FAR less of a problem than the magnet-ridden kludges with V4. Taking the product as a whole, so far she has done everything I've asked, and done it better than V4. My $.02.

jwdell sums up my own feelings very nicely. I'm pleased with what I got to start with and have high hopes. We'll see where it goes.

To me, the most imporant thing about Dawn is the fact that now there is another company that is putting resourses behind the idea of being a major player in the figure creation game. This vendor is also committed to directly supporting the software that I use, and for that reason alone I'm going to give their product a shot.
