It's funny, having Poser, Poser Pro, Daz Studio and Carrara ... I have always been amazed at the value proposition of Carrara compared to other entry level apps.  I appreciate the robust tool set coupled to the ability to use Poser and Daz content.  I think it's actuallly pretty cheap on a value for money scale.

But that's just me.  I spent more taking my wife to dinner Saturday than the upgrade cost, and the upgrade will last me an awful lot longer.

Cheers!
