Brad Peebler is a good guy and that's a very generous offer they have, but I just don't feel that Modo is a professional quality product. It's got a lot of improvements over Lightwave, but again, it has all the same weaknesses and they have made all the same mistakes they made when they developed lightwave. It's still a modeling tool that has had animation tacked on, they did it better this time than with lightwave and it's all one program, but I'm just not impressed with how it all came together. I still feel the interface is as complete mess, which was one of the biggest problems with Lightwave. Even at 50% off, I just don't feel Modo would be worth the price. Softimage has spoiled me with its interface and workflow and it is going to be very difficult for me to find something to replace it with.

Let me explain: It's more the fact a person as highly positioned as him keeps in touch with people who have hardly anything to do with his products and is wiling to jump a whole chain of decision makers and bureaucracy to make something happen in a few hours that matters to me. If it saves you a few hundred bucks that's a bonus for sure :) BTW apparently it's the community store or something like that that should be used at: http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/store/modo/ Some other store locations might not accept coupons.

On the other hand I think it's a bit too early for this offer for most Softimage users to make a jump in one direction or another. Not saying that there won't be a few that will want to score this opportunity, so... yeah, it's a lot better than nothing.
