It's OK. I got my Maya 2012 and maybe it would be useful after a Machine of Pigs release. And I got my good old Maya 2010. It doesn't really matters where to model, if seriously...
I just didn't want to delete Maya 2012, clean up all and everything. And than install Maya 2010 with all necessary plugins. Real waste of time. I have a problem with a free Hard Disc space, so I couldn't have both Maya 2012 and 2010 installed simultaneously. But... I have to live through this... oh... poor me
Any Maya version is usable with HPL2, just as long as it isn't 2012 or 2013
Student versions are completely usable. Is it possible for you to get a spare internal hard-drive for 2010? If you can, everything will work a-ok for you!
Sorry that the DAE/ Collada exporter in 2012 doesn't work. I haven't found a way around it, as of yet, to get it to work. It seems that the Autodesk plugin for that is a bit... Wonky.
If you ever get 2010 installed or any student version, please let me know. I can help out with anything else. If I had more spare time, I'd be able to export your models from my Maya in dae format (I might have some spare time soon). Custom animations on the otherhand would be a little bit of a problem, if you had any. Sorry Lass.
