PE Slic3r, Multi-Material with PVA for supports automatically?

Hello,

I am interested in printing mostly parts.

Will there be an option w/ PE Slic3r to print the model with one material and the support structure in a material like PVA without creating two STL files?

If not should I budget extra money to purchase Simplify3D along w/ the MM upgrade?

Yes, it is possible...and more :-). Grey = soluble filament.

So the slicer automatically used the grey PVA for the support interface layer, correct?

The support interface can be set to whichever "extruder" contains the PVA/support material.
