DAZ Studio's toon render option is really cool. Try using it with the depth of field option turned on for some odd effects.
It's easier to deal with than Poser's various toon techniques, and in my opionion tends to yield more interesting 2D-ish results. However, that's a "for fun" thing in my book. Not really into toon renders as standard fare.

Poser is by far the more robust app. D|S can't replace it, but D|S does have its own advantages (e.g. very quick renders, which is great for testing new acquisitions that D|S can handle,) so especially given that the base module is free, there are indeed reasons why one might want both on hand.

I used to use Poser 4 with only 512MB RAM. WAY too slow! If you can upgrade to 1 GB of RAM, you'll be glad you did. :-)
