It's really not my place but do you know how much companies like Okino, Righthemisphere, npower etc.charge for their convertors/translators ?

Well they are much more expensive than MoI and their mesh quality is still questionable...Not to mention the additional subscription fees...

Wedgie reading your other thread I got the impression that Michael was also doing Luxology's job ;) So for $295 you get MoI and Michael comes for FREE, best bargain if you ask me.
