3DS vs Topaz
3DS is $2995, Topaz is $7995, but more importantly I have a friend who owns
both and now, with 3ds version 2 out, does not see the justification of the
extra $5k. In fact, he'll probably be selling Topaz if your interested. I'm
not knocking Topaz because it might well be a fine product, but
price/performance wise 3ds has no peer on the PC platform. There are some
fine 3d products on the Mac platform which are very competitive in price,
BUT, the price/performance of the hardware is poor compared to the PC's.
