V3 and M3 at daz are high poly models that are considered the best storebought figures for realism (and other things). This is personal but, once I bought them, I never used a P5 figure again. Some great things have been done with Judy (mentioned) and there is a huge void to be filled for her market. Could be fun for you if you are leaning that way. It will not save you money, though. Not if you count your time. The experience of a few hundred renders will tell you your future...
