It also depends on your time. If you know your going to do 3D then u
should condsider packages that will be there when u grow. But poser 2, and
detailer are worth $179. U probably won't ever use Ray Dream Studio for
serious work - but it might be useful to figure out if u want to do the 3d
thing.
Also poser 2 meshes don't export into other packages well.

Everyone knows that dragons don't exist. But while this simplistic
formulation may satisfy the layman, it does not suffice for the
scientific mind. The School of Higher Neantical Nillity is in fact
wholly unconcerned with what does exist. Indeed, the banality of
existence has been so amply demonstrated, there is no need for us to
discuss it any further here. The brilliant Cerebron, attacking the
problem analytically, discovered three distinct kinds of dragon: the
mythical, the chimerical, and the purely hypothetical. They were all,
one might say, nonexistent, but each nonexisted in an entirely
different way ...
