The Upgrade price from poser 4 is cheap. The new Daz product will probably be in the $500-$600 range. (a guess but an educated one.)Plus P5 is out now. You won't miss the $200 you spend on P5 now in 7 months. :) If i had an AMD prosessor or a homebuilt rig, I might think twice... But I haven't had very many problems at all with my Dell P4. I'm glad Daz is bringing some competition to this market, especially with their reputation for quality. That being said, P5 is a fine peice of software with a tremendous amount of potential.
