With the PC Membership, you get a discount on all DAZ original products, including Vicky 3 and her morphs. You won't get that from a Poserworld subscription. So the two don't compare in this instance. Beyond that, I totally agree. Those DAZ starter packs are misleading in the sense that you can't get started with them. The Vicky 3 anniversary pack wasn't such a great deal. It would have made sense to at least have an alternative where people could get Vicky 3, and her morph packs as a package deal, with a reduced price.
