Ok, I am new to maya and trying to get to grasp with it so I could ditch it before I am too deep in(buying my own copy), but this Modo sounds to good to be tru so I must be missing something here.

Explain it to me. Why is Modo 1000 bucks when Maya and Max is like 5000 bucks if they do the same thing? What does Maya and Max do that Modo can not do?

Or actually can Modo be both cheaper and better?

I smell something slightly rotten, have my nose gone bad?
