As I said, I prefer David and SP to M3 and V3. I think they pose better. But I use M3 and V3 more, because there's more stuff for them.

As for non-DAZ figures...depends on what you want, of course. I think some of Dacort's figures are as good as Vicky, or better. Some even have more polygons. I like Sixus1's, too. But they just don't have the necessary support. Similarly, Neftoon Gal could give the Girl a run for her money...but she won't, because she doesn't have the support DAZ's products get. Support counts for a lot. It's not just the figure that has the most polygons, or is the most beautiful or realistic or morphable that wins out. It's the one that's supported the best.

I'm not dissing DAZ. Obviously, I'm a frequent customer. Indeed, I'm recommending that anyone who wants to buy a figure buy V3 or M3. But not because they are necessarily the best, but because they have the most support.
