DAZ|Studio is the most over-hyped piece of software I ever had the pleasure to not having worked with yet... Please, why speculate on the comparative merits of a software that isn't even released yet? I really feel sorry for the good people at DAZ having to work under this kind of pressure, with a community that expects this presumably bug-free, inexpensive, high-performing killer application to sweap the floor not only with Poser 5, but with all coming releases of Poser as well (releases we haven't seen either)
