Actually, are we really comparing apples to apples here? The figure used in the FaceGen renders appears to be a Vicky of one version or another ... is that true? So making comparisons between your technique and the Poser 5 face room isn't really an apples to apples comparison. The Judy mesh does not have the same quality of modeling as the DAZ figures do. The real challenge would be to use Judy for both samples as a comparison. If you can pull something like that off with Judy, then I'd say your technique wins. 8-)
