Hello Reciecup, I also have D|S and switched to Poser. Like you I heard so many great and not so great things about it. But curiosity got the best of me and I bought it. I'm not that good with it so far, but it seems so much easier to set up scenes in P6 than it was in D|S. The lighing and camera handling is a lot simpler. dressing your characters is about the same. The material room is a dream, and the capability to create custom pose files is great. The little bit I've played in the cloting room has been a blast. The only thing I can say that I truly like in D|S over P6 is that in D|S it's faster to switch between libraries. That my two cents worth. Oh yeah, if your stateside you can order Poser online from Compusa for $200.00. Stew451
