I've been asked to purchase some graphics software for an Amiga which we use
in a video studio for titling.  The person asked for one of the following:

	Sculpt 4D Jr.  $89.95
	Sculpt 3Dxl    $99.95
	Sculpt 4D     $350.00

The all appear to have the same basic modelling and rendering features.
The person actually requested Sculpt 4D, but when asked why, said "it must be
better because it cost more!"  Well I'm not an Amiga expert, but I know enough
about the software business to know that this ain't necessarily so.

Can anybody explain why we would want one version over another?  This is a
simple local origination studio--we're not going to be doing flying logos for
SIGGRAPH.  

Thanks for any illumination (so to speak :-))
