Ouch!! That's a big price hike - 995 euros = 1572 dollars . I vote with my wallet on this kind of thing and buy elsewhere (wherever possible).

MoI doesn't have dimensions yet. Possibly in Version 2, which, according to the dev, will be about a year away. MoI does have different internal units (mm, cm, etc) and you can make things exact sizes.

It just so happens that I'm trying out modo and found the advanced handles setting which shows dimensions as you create and move objects, faces, etc..

The dims are also shown in the tools properties on the side bar too, but they disappear when you drop the tool. Is this the kind of thing you are looking for, or do you want the dimensions to stay there after you've finished the edit?
