I myself have posted about my feelings on SA product quality, specifically the fact that for the price of Alpha and Havoc all you get is a few poses, textures, and the mesh, which has a few facial expression dials, and probably (haven't checked) hand posing dial movements.
Personally, usability and alterability are things I look for in a good product. Uzilite's clothes are high-poly, but they also come with enough morphs to probably choke Poser, and still look good doing, and at a lower cost than SA's products.
Nybras, from DAZ, has a nice number of morphs built in, allowing a wide range of "different but similar" demons, and that's before adding in the one of the morph expansions, which you can get along with Nybras for the same cost of 1 of SA's products, and I know I'll use Nybras more, because of the morphability of his base mesh.
From what I've seen, with SA products, you get what you see, and the only thing you can change is texture, there are no muscular, obese, mangy, female, bloated, or whatever morphs, (and no, I don't feel like I should have to make my own for a product of that price) to give you a slightly different monster.
But then, that's my opinion, and SA wouldn't have gotten much more money off me even if this hadn't come to light (I can get far more than a single figure out of $35+ even at DAZ, so for me price is the biggest turn-off).
