I accept that we can all use any scale that we like, but I have to ask this question:

Is it useful for us all to be using different scales, especially content creators (whether commercial or freebies)?

Two more questions:

Is there a commonly used scaling system for Poser and D/S?
Is there a bias toward scaling items like scenery props for use with figures like Vicky because the majority of existing items already do so?

I want to save myself some time here in the long run (in having to re-scale everything I might use). I have no wish to work with Poser measurements if everything else is already scaled differently. I can, as has been suggested, work with any scale I like so I'd prefer to develop one in line with what is already generally being used.
Although I have to argue the point one more time that standardised measuring units that most content creators generally adhere to is by far the most logical approach.
