If you are comparing C4D to LW or Modo then yes, C4D is more expensive but its also more complete solution for many things (animation, modelling, sculpting, texturing, simulation, camera tracking, rendering etc.). I think 3600$ one time, plus 650$ upgrade price is affordable, C4D is absolutely most stable 3D software on market. With Maya and 3DS Max you will lose your software when you stop subscription. First time price is 3600$… after that with MSA you can have upgrade with 650$ / version (year) And if you stop your MSA agreement you will still have the latest version which you have upgraded.
