I just popped in here to see if this discussion was going on. This looks to be the version that's convinced me to finally buy Carrara after watching it develop for several years now. The lack of support for zBrush displacements and subdivision meshes had mainly held me back. Also, I like that it doesn't just host Poser files, but claims to actually convert them to a native format. I'm very impressed, but I don't use a previous version.
