Anyone use hexagon 2.5?

Hexagon 2.5 is a product of Daz 3D. It is extreamly cheap just $20. Looks like a good product but I'm not sure. Does anyone have experience with Hexagon? Is it any good? For $20 is it even for commercial use?

Just because something is free and open source doesn't make it the best choice out there.

it is in continues developement, the feature set is incredible
and it would be wise to learn how to use blender.
Hexagon is not really a option, it is like making a step back and i doubt that this is in your interest?
Since 2.5, the Blender interface is much more intuitive and allows
users to jump in straight and there are plenty of tutorials for blender, the best part they are free aswell.
Anyways your choice but from a artistic point of view - Hexagon
is not worth the money and neither the time, you would be even better of with getting Milkshape3D, especially since it supports T3D pretty well.

Blender is fairly complex, even with the UI improvements. If Hexagon is easier for you to use then by all means, have at it. I haven't looked at it personally, but I know that moving from 3D Studio Max to Blender has been a difficult transition for me - the workflow is wildly different and I'm still not comfortable in it yet. Finding a tool that fits your thought process is nice - explore your options.
