Convince me.

I've got 3.3 at home along with Lightwave 7.5 (8 when it's released). At work I use Maya and there's some stuff that I really like about the program (ease of editing curves in the timeline being one example).

With my experience with Maya so far, as well as the fact that XSI has reduced their price, I'm considering other alternatives.

The pros I see with messiah:

. Supposedly better for a one-man operation than XSI or Maya. Don't know if this statement is true or not.

. Good renderer with LW. Although Maya and XSI both have Mental Ray.

. Sasquatch for fur. Would have to shell out $$$$$ for fur in other programs.

What else?

now that xsi has a version out at a good price Im having to consider it. Only one reason for me considering it and thats constantly having to wait for anything from PMG. They really have to pull out something more than bug fixs and a finished renderer now to have my full attention. XSI and maya work, and the bugs get fixed quickly.

With no fur option in the 2100 version it's not that attractive :) And I guess one can argue that you dont always need fur, however if you ever needed it you'd be screwed unless you were ready to fork over a bunch more cash (6 grand I think).
