The only reason to wait is if you absolutely are not going to be able to afford the upgrade price when P5 is released. Check with DAZ if Poser2 owners can use the P4 upgrade price. Although there are lots of folks here doing nice things with the free Poser3, there's so much more to learn from P4 (you are going to love transparency) and lots of free resources to use with it. I don't think you'll regret getting it now. Elisa/gryffnn
