Would be nice if XSI would also be compared in the process.. no i like this or that thread.. but just the facts.. im very interested in XSI it has 64 bit support, giga ploygon core and the face robot seems really nice.. also i heared it integrates good with zbrush. Also Modo 201 seems really great.. well unleast the previews of it that i have seen. What i really miss in Maya are good polygon tools.. I really like silo it is simple and fast for polygon modelling..
