I have found c4p easy to use, altho finding info is harder to get a good under the hood handle. For now I can only afford 1 app, so for diversity it sounds like c4p is strong there. But they do all seem to specialize more than c4., which really adds up.(BTW, e-on says in their faq that their anti-piracy feature had caused problems w/ certain upgrades which they patched. I don't like that mentality...not that I am not seeing alot more of that all over.) Unfortunately, Amapi 7 I did not find easy to use, I wanted to work w/ ai drawings, but the learning curve is steeper so I thought I better stick w/ c4p for now. How are the upgrades handled for plugins? It is not that I mind plugins per se, but I bought pro trying to avoid so many other purchases. I guess I would like to see them packaged w/ it. Those 2 packs at their best deal(which is quite a savings) are another $200 which seem to add very critical "modern" features. Some are including these features in their packages. (For c3 people it is cool they can still get these.)Then probably around february a new version will be out. Knowing, the limitations and addons needed for these packages is very helpful tho.

No need to think outside the box....
