There is nothing wrong with Posers scaling. Daz Studio just uses a different type of scaling, so they set up F4 for that. Freak 4 scales perfectly fine if you set up the scaling for it in Poser, it's part of the rigging.
People around the forums usually start blaming D/S or Poser for differences. But the fact of the matter is that they are two different apps that have different ways of doing things and sometimes they just dont match up.
This issue is also present in V4 and M4, its just that no one usually scales them by very much (small amounts dont cause problems.)
Having said that, it would have been nice to have a Poser version that has the scaling set up for Poser. I usually just do it myself, as I have for David all the way through M4- V4, it takes some patience and time, but if you set up the scaling properly for Poser they will scale perfectly fine. Poser scaling has its advantages as I'm sure D/S scaling has.
This is also true for the rigging, figures created using D/S only simulate Poser rigging when you export them for Poser, and there are small differences. Most times, those differences do not cause any problems but occasionally they do.
You have to remember folks, that if you buy a product that is made for a different app than the one you are using, even though they may be mostly compatible, there are occasionally going to be problems. You can learn to solve those problems yourself, it's a bit time consuming but not really hard. You can rely on apps that will fix them like the one above, or not purchase products not made for Poser. (which is the way I am leaning)
