...I'll bring it up since nobody else has. For some reason we're missing the forest for the trees. The fact that 'we already own Carrara', or 'we can take the skills somewhere else later' isn't the point. The point is time. Time spent to learn and improve on any app. The value of the time we spend with our 3d apps far exceeds the actual cost of the apps for most of us, even the casual hobbyist. For example, let's play devils advocate and say daz doesn't put out C6 for two years from the time they bought it, which could happen (or not). Let's say it gets the same degree of upgrades that Bryce has gotten during that time and, after that two years, the community is bummed out that we've been spending our time with Carrara to begin with. If that turns out to be the case then we'd wish we could turn back the clock and just buy XSI right now. We'd much rather have spent that two years improving skills with an app that's going places. In fairness to daz though, maybe that won't be the case and they'll put out a nice upgrade. We users have to make a judgment call. We're not going to stand still. Do we wait for daz and see if we're happy with what they do, or, do we move on? I haven't decided yet, but I'm going to decide in the next few months.
