I've become (largely) a DAZ convert this year, having received some of their much-touched customer service - but MIMIC 2 is the first DAZ Studio "add-on" to be released (as it was listed, at least once) and the Pro version retails (ignoring discounts, pure "final" RRP) at $199.95. It's a great addition to DAZ Studio or Poser, but it's not "the full monty". There is EVERY chance that the plugins could add up to a substantial cost overall, and that a fair number of people will want all or most of them. This is, after all, what DAZ and the plugin vendors want - to sell product. Even the "lite" or "Standard" version retails at $79.95 - a significant chunk of "the full monty". However, as much as I agree that the chances are good that a full working DAZ Studio could end up costing 4-5 times a full Poser set-up, I suspect that in at least some ways the functionality will be in line with the price difference.
