I'm not sure about the polycounts, but they sure render as nice (the new figures like Miki even better) as DAZ characters.

It's not harder to make stuff for them, it's just that merchants always claimed users are biased towards DAZ figures, so no point in making stuff for poser figures. But many people do use the original poser figures and merchants are supporting them more and more now. For example,  Dork/Possete/Don/Judy/James/Jessi have far more tv appearances then the any of the DAZ figures ever had.

Some of the new poser figures are gaining support, not in the magnitude of vicky, but they're catching on. DAZ's V4 seems to be lacking support by merchants now also, so thinks may be changing.
