V3 has better mesh smoothing and you'll find a lot of textures coming out - some of which you can use for a male figure (i.e. no screaming blue eyeshadow and nuclear red lips.) spectre3 has 2 explicitly male tetures for V3. Finding clothing for V3M will be a chore for a while. (Though there is a shirt out now for V3M.) Mike 2 has more clothing and explicitly male textures plus he's better "equipped" out of the box. While Mike 2 doesn't have as much clothing as Vicki 2, it's more than you'll find for a while with V3M. Shape-wise, V3M is great for smaller, slimmer males. If you want real rough-and-tough types, then Mike is a bit easier to work with. (Yes, the V3 Male morphs package can produce a large, muscular body, but the face is still a bit delicate.) Hope this helps!
