I saw this video some time ago and it made an impression on me. I offer it as inspiration.

ok, so do that.
1. Deconstruct the skill - decide exactly what you want to do when your done. Then look into the skill and break it down into smaller and smaller pieces. - the more that you can break down the skill the more you are able to decide what are the parts of the skill that would actually help you get to what you want and then you can practice those first.
2. learn enough to self correct. - get three to five resources.
3. Remove practice barriers
4. Practice at least 20 hours

This is procrastination. What do YOU want to do?
What do your current tools not allow you to do that you want to? (i.e. Why do you want new 3D software?) - "I just want to open the hand from a fist--why is it taking three weeks to do so?!"
If the new software is more efficient perhaps you should switch and focus on that as the first skill.
BTW-Since you asked for opinions, I have a potential 3rd option that I have not seen be done in a TG story. (i.e. a story pitch that might kill two birds with one stone.)
What if you used both programs in a Auto-TG story. An artist is creating a simple TG rendering in Poser but the manipulation of the poser figure begins to effect the real artist rendered in Maya or the program you wish to use that had more photo realistic skin tones.
or the poser figure represents real life an puts on a VR head set and there is a first person transformation in maya.
Just a thought.
