    Aspire versus Vcarve Pro with cut 3D add on.

    I'm wondering what the difference is between Vcarve Pro and Aspire. Is Aspire just a bundled package of Vcarve, photo Vcarve and Cut3D? Vcarve pro and Cut3D appear to be all a person would need. What gives Aspire the premium edge for a $2k price tag?

    Aspire has 3D modeling tools, so you can create all your 3D models in Aspire. You can't do any 3D modeling with V Carve Pro and Cut 3D.

    Also, Aspire does NOT do what Photo VCarve does, with the exception of Lithopanes.

    And Aspire doesn't do 2 sided machining, but I think that Cut3D does.

    But the major reason for the price difference is the 3D modeling stuff.

    The last one explained it best for me. I'm stone deaf. Rocks hear better so most of the vids that include audio are a total loss for me. Kind of helps when riding old British iron. I never hear the valve clatter....

    Harsh man. I understood the last one because it was with printed word. How is that a "but" situation? Deaf is deaf. Hope you don't age poorly and experience it, but thanks for the links and effort. As I said, your last one worked best for me due to it's written explanation.
