I saw the announcement about Poser 13 release date and I'm wondering if I should hold off on upgrading to Poser 12 until 13 is released?
Or will there be a grace period where the purchase of Poser 12 will include a free upgrade to Poser 13 as there are precedents of this in previous upgrades.

Or even are there any compelling reasons to convince me that I actually "really" need Poser 12 *now.

Honest answers please - I have been out of the community for ages following a severe heart attack and a dead windows machine which left me using Linux as my OS for about 18 + months.

The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
