*DAZ, however, has formed a partnership with OptiTex and plans to incorporate cloth-sim technology into Studio in due time.
*Which will cost $50 or so, making D/S even more expensive to use then it already is, at least if you want the same functionality as Poser 5. If you really want to make use of and want it to have the same features as P5, you pay much more for it then you pay for Poser 5 and still you would lack a good number of Poser 5 features.

Also, let's not ignore content. Poser 5 contains a lot of content to start with, D/S contains very little.
