Quote - Obviously the price is an issue, DAZ is free, Poser isn't.

Figure Artist is really Poser Light and might be suitable for some needs, especially if you are an artist and just want layouts for your finished work.  IMHO, Poser seems to be more intuitive and easier to use, but then VUE seems more intuitive and easier to use than Bryce, so that part is up to you.

And Garee, I've been to your storefront and you rock.  The Girl is my favorite character!

The way I see it, if you have DS, You don't need Poser Figure Artist. It's like going sideways. If you want to get into Poser after DS, Poser 6 like Gareee says is the way to dip your feet in and still get more than DS has to offer.
