I agree with Greywolf, most of the features that Poser has that D|S does not involve rigging and other things to help in the creation of posable figures. I've never really seen dynamic cloth look that great except for flowing dresses, and I've never seen Poser dynamic hair look...well, good at all. ;) Poser's Face Room really isn't a must-have feature either. Poser is definitely superior when it comes to animation and I believe it's currently better for attempts at photorealistic lighting (you can get extra light sets for D|S to do this, but Poser users seem to get better results). If you do stick with Studio, consider getting pwSurface (which adds important features to DAZ Studio's materials) and Mask Creator (which makes masks of individual items in your scene, making postwork much easier), both at DAZ.
In short, I'd use Studio for now and if you find yourself wanting more, try the latest Poser demo and see if you like it's added features.
Thanks,
