    Have you looked at fusion 360 yet? I've been playing with that a little bit. Depending on the package (regular or ultimate) the CAM is like HSM works or express (actually based on that engine).

    The modeling aspects dont seem to be targeted at our needs, but the integrated CAM is quite nice.

    Do you know how the payments are handled? I'm super curious about it since it'd be really cool if you could toggle the payment months on and off without having to incur any penalty or leaping through hoops. For instance if you have a bunch of stuff to program then hey bang it out all throughout the month, then give it a rest for the next 1-2 months, or as long as you can stand it.

    That way it'd be VERY different compared to a loan payment of $300/month, since you can't get behind on a 3rd party loan without getting into trouble. Because obviously you can obtain a lot of useful resources on a $300/month loan for 4 years or whatever, but it's at the cost of being "locked in".
