I think regarding the materials it is not too important which Poser version you use. Because of the weird black and strong highlight setting that comes out of Poser i normally retouch the materials anyway. And check/correct the bump maps in that process too. I still praise and sing that Infinite has the "collapse identical materials" import button. Makes it sooooo much easier to work with Poser characters.
