Please tell me if I get this about right. If I decided to go for 10 month Creator for modeling and 2 month professional for rendering in serious resolutions I would need:

• 10x $20 = $200
• 2x $75 = $150
• 1x $250 (for plant catalogue, as Creator version won't cut it).

That's $650 a year (instead of $990) and about $9750 until I get my old age pension ;) I think I'll pass and switch to C4D as long as they offer their perpetual license.
