A similar conversation came up at DAZ. nothing seems to have come from it but i'll point out a couple of things here that I pointed out there.
...
FYI in the follwing:
Gen2 = Generation 2 = M2 and V2
Gen3 = Generation 3 = M3 and V3 etc

Of all the discussions I have seen on using the different characters, It seems that there are two major groups of people. Those who use Gen 2 because they dont have Gen3 (usually for financial reasons) and those who use Gen2 and Gen3 (usually in the same scene). There is still a Gen2 market.

Personally Id like to see the artist offer both Gen2 and 3 versions of their clothes. With the existence of the Clothes converter and texture converter programs it would seem to be a potentially highly profitable venture to make Gen3 stuff then convert them (assuming the conversion is easier than recreating the stuff) and sell both versions.

I know it is far from a perfect, quick, one step solution it would seem to me to at least help facilitate the changes.

Id rather spend my money on the items and not spend my money on the program and the items and have to spend time converting the items.
