"I'm thinking the Big DAZ Sale might have something to do with the upcoming release of V4. "

I agree although I hadn't realized it. This would be typical for sales anywhere in probably most industries. So you can't fault them on that. I'm not sure I need or want a V4 but can't imagine not getting her. I like Miki aside from a lack of poseabilty. I think because she's cute and just different. If you look at the CP featured image she's pretty sweet. Olivier does some nice stuff with her too. Fresh is always good for me. Jessi was too much for my taste. I'm anxious to see the new EF character in hopes they've learned a lot from previous releases. If you look at CP now it's pretty much all Miki on the front page and they've gotten behind her 110%. Unlike Jessi. So we'll see what happens with the two new character releases(V4 and EF?). I know this will be good for everyone, content creaters and users alike.
Ok sorry for the tangent.
