SLTk Pro?? Just found it today. Does anyone know about it? The cost is 200,000 LD or about $900+ USD.

Ooh, I hadn't heard of that. I've been waiting for just such a tool for a long time.

$900 is awfully steep, though. Adrien Linden was working on a free version a while back, but never finished it. If you're good with MEL, you could probably expand on what he's done so far (which is probably what these guys did).

What I will say is don't believe what it says on the SLTK website about what is "difficult or impossible" to do in SL. Nothing's impossible, and almost nothing is very difficult. Different, yes, but not impossible, and usually not difficult. As I said in your other thread, it's just a matter of getting used to it.

Those with prior 3D experience tend to be a little frustrated with SL's tools at first. I can promise you it does get better. After a time, it just clicks, and then you can do anything. If you think back to your first experience with Maya's tools, the same was probably true. It just takes a little time and dedication is all. Don't get discouraged, and don't believe you need any third party tools to make it work.
