Not sure if this has been asked before, so excuse me if it has. It seems that a new version of Poser is released every 2 years, sometimes less. Poser Pro 2012 came out in September 2011.

Is there any news or rumours about a new version of Poser (maybe Poser Pro 2014 perhaps)? I was just looking into the SR3 of Poser Pro 2012 but wondered whether I should bother with that. Wouldn't a new version of Poser incorporate everything in that service release and have fixed any issues with it?

Also, I'm guessing that Reality 3 would naturally be compatible with a new version of Poser too?

So should I wait for a new version rather than bothering with SR3, since it's already nearly mid 2013?

Alternatively, if someone (not me obviously) were to invest in a Poser program for the first time, but wasn't in a hurry, would you advise them to wait for a new release since it might be just around the corner?
