Arrived at the party a little late, but I just upgraded to Carrara 5 Pro yesterday. I spent an hour or two playing around in it and my initial impression is very positive. I love the new interface and the way the screen space is maximized in the Assemble room. Not sure why, but it seems easier to mix and create Shaders than before; perhaps it's the way the menus are formatted.

I haven't spent any time in the Modelling are yet, but I'm hoping for some improvements there as well.

Anyway, just had to say that so far I think this is an upgrade well worth the price.
