Default Re: New user to Lightwave required

I have a general Lighwave question for you. I know you are/were a Lightwave 9 user, have you tried Lightwave 10 at all? If not, have you seen any reviews or anything like that on Lightwave forums saying how good it is compared to LW9?

I'm (obviously) putting serious thought into changing from trueSpace to Lightwave. I'm so fracking impressed by stuff I've seen done in it and I like Newtek's prices much better than Autodesk's prices. Lightwave is only about $100 more than the latest version of trueSpace used to be before it went to freeware and then went kaput. (you can still get it but it's not getting any younger) I can handle $900 much better than I can $3,500. However, sometimes you can find used (or even new) copies of Lightwave 9 on Ebay for $200 to $300. I'm wondering if it's worth the money to get LW 10 or if I should just wait (when I have the money) and get a cheaper copy of LW9.

Do you have any thoughts on this? You're one of the few Lightwave users that I know that's a regular poster and I value your opinions on a lot of things, so any insight you have would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Hmm, this was supposed to be a private message but I obviously messed up somewhere. Oh well.
