I think crosstalk in P5 is greatly reduced but perhaps not completely eliminated - and depends on the figure. It should not stop you from using multiple figures, which I do most of the time - haven't personally experienced it yet though. What I like most about the P5 figures is that they are plain and ordinary people with few "distinctive" features, but that makes them easily converted into other people. On the other hand Michael and Victoria are so distinctive that it is hard to "mask" or "hide" those distinctive features and make them look like anything but themselves or their own blood relatives. I also think that the P5 figures pose much better than anything DAZ has ever produced. You can bend their arms and legs practically into pretzels and their joints don't "crack" - if you try to fold Vicky's arms in front of her or bend her knees to a sitting position you almost always get nasty tears at the joints. This rarely happens with Don and Judy, so they are a real pleasure to pose. With just a couple of hours in the face room, I created 10 very attractive Judy's and 10 good-looking Dons without much fuss. To be honest, I like their "ordinary" appearance because I know a lot more people in real life who look like Don and Judy than I know who look like Michael and Victoria. I'll keep Michael and Vicky for those fantasy scenes and stick with Don and Judy for the reality scenes.
