Excerpted from a lightwave mailing list: "LOL, elitism in the Lightwave community.... Cmon, get real, and hunderstand that Lw is loosing ground with every new release of Maya/Max/Xsi, and yes, in many ways C4d and even Carrera are becoming legit Lightwave competitors, check some demos and read some reviews..."

Softimage was recently on sale for $4,000 off the retail price (you could buy a lot of Eovia product for just the amount of the discount). I think one of the selling points for lightwave used to be that you could do most of what Maya does for much less but when Alias slashed the price of Maya (personally I think that was a brilliant marketing move) I think it pretty much took away that selling point.
