In reality, you won't be happy with a modeler until you've tested it out yourself. I don't believe inspire or animation master have demo's available, but I do know TRUESPACE does, try it, and see if you can model anything in it. The only limitation of the demo is that there is no cut/paste & no save option, so you should be able to give it a good test. Anyway good luck.

Question about low end modelers
It is nowhere the latest or greatest version, but it does give you exposure to the trueSpace way of doing things.

Many people have told me to go with trueSpace but I'd like more opinions before shelling out what limited monetary resources I have. If anybody could tell me which modeler they think delivers the best cost to performance ratio, I'd greatly appreciate it! Also, if anybody could give me suggestions for the Mac platform I'd appreciate it, poor thing has been neglected because of my PC!
p.s. for low poly i mean u can edit points and lines. also all the tools in ts are useful for something so investigate those panels and bottons, very cool stuff
