Having messed around with the figure only a little. And only posted one image of the dude I set up I ahve to say he is a pretty cool figure to work with. He seems to work as well a V3 with eariler versions of the mil folk (with a null figure included to fend off cross talk.) He poses as well as the V3 and is cut in much the same way. The only real detractor I see is the addition of another 27 pose folders. Now I'm "Told" I can move them but after the V3 folder mess I am hesitant to move them further from where daz put them. Since I use Poser4 w/ProPack I have a 250 folder limit in any one library (I do have Poser5, however I don't use it for performace problems) So this means a whole flock of pose folders had to be removed from POSE and into OFFLINE in another disk. So Owners that have both 3's have about 50+ pose folders tied up in the fabrication of a new character. Now since I know nothing of that PBboost do-hikey, nor by the understanding I have on how it works do I wish to use it. I could not ay if it might help in be able to use pose folders that have had to be pulled from the working runtime to be helpful (I assume it would, but i don't know) M3's "member" seems very easy to use and is rather real looking. That and it actually conforms to the right place and blends pretty well in it's native habitat. The move of daz to have some of their brokers make stuff before the release seems to have been a good one. He seems to have a fair assortment of fantasy stuff to do stuff. and PWFW (Steve Shanks) has already adjusted a very good amount of M2 clothes to M3. So the support is definatly there. Most of the current hair props with a bit of X and Z tweaking will yield a pretty good looking fit. So I would have to say he is worth having if your budget will allow it
