I've used both Poser 4 and Poser 5.  If you plan to buy DAZ models, you
might like Poser 4 (Poser Artist) just fine, if you want to save a little
money.  But (as Gilles already stated), the default models in Poser 5 are
much more detailed, and the dynamic cloth(es) is a feature that I couldn't
imagine being without at this point.

After I bought it a couple months ago, I upgraded to service pack 3 right
away (from Curious Labs' site), and I haven't had any technical problems,
but I'm not a heavy user at this point.  Poser (imho), has never been very
user friendly, and getting the models into a proper pose can be a tough job.
But since you've used Poser 3, you probably realize that already, and know
what you're getting into.  I'm personally happy with Poser 5, but I could
name quite a few things that would make it better (multiple levels of undo
would be a good start!).
