I have Poser 8 and I'm planning to get Daz Studio 3 Advance in the  near future. For a while Poser has had more features than Daz when it comes to handling materials and lighting. When I read about Daz Studio 3. I like that the program was becoming more advance.  I'm a Poser user at heart but I have recommended Daz to many people who really aren't sure if they will like making computer generated art. I myself started out with Daz First and then purchased Poser.

If your issue is having limitations with being able to use content then I would recommend Poser.  I haven't had any problems using any of my Daz Content with my Poser. I even made the mistake of using the DazStudio installer for my Poser and it still worked fine.  The more features that Daz starts to include the more interesting Daz Studio becomes to me. Over all I like Both.
