Yeas i know, If you are considering of buying Maya, well Good luck my friend LOL
Although i never would have thought to buy it unless it proves a good tool to me no matter what people say.
I think you can Find still some version for Educational purposes At least there existed one when i learned a Maya 4 Character anim specially.
And now I make commercials/orders on Lightwave (Its fast, Its easy,Its powerfull, 300,Batman Begins,Darknight Finalfantasy SW, are some of its productions)
I use Maya or XSI to animate Characters which i finally export to texture and render in Lightwave because of its light and superb and fast rendering.
So I would say my friend
ITS NOT THE TOOL ITS THE ARTIST.
Buy Lightwave Its only 2000 $ and can do the same shit if you ask me. It depend if you are the science guy, who likes math etc programing (in that case would be maya), Or the Art Guy who want to get max result with less amount of scripting and writing ( In that case i would recommend Lightwave)
Ps. What you see below is made in Lightwave, the animation will be made and rendered In Softimage XSI
