I think support counts for more. A lot more. (I look for support first, and adaptability second. I want the character to be able to look different - ugly, pretty, old, young, black, white, Asian, etc.) It's why I'm willing to buy DAZ characters as soon as they're released. Even their "neglected" characters like David and SP get more clothes than most non-DAZ characters.

No matter how pretty the character is, it's going to be awfully hard to fight market forces, which is what you're doing when you try to introduce a new character. Unless you have a group of people who are doing it solely for principle - because they want diversity, or hate DAZ, or whatever. If you can sell 300 copies of a dress for V3, or 100 copies of a dress for SP, why make a dress for a non-DAZ character that will sell five copies? Even "ugly" DAZ characters sell well and get lots of support compared non-DAZ characters.
