PP2010 has everything that Poser 8 has, plus a few - very important - whistles and bells. Feature comparison here. I find built-in Gamma Correction, 64-bit compatibility and network rendering invaluable; if I use Poser 8 at all, it's to do simple stuff while PP2010 is labouring away on a render.

These forums have lots of people discussing problems with PP2010, and very few saying 'no problems here'. People with no problems tend not to post. Not to say that it doesn't have the odd glitch, but these are (a) minor and (b) should be sorted in the first service pack which, hopefully, won't be too long in appearing.

I've tried to get along with D|S but I'm used to Poser's interface and now I never use it, so my advice is to pick whichever suits you. D|S has a free version and you can get a 30-day free trial of Poser 8 at Smith Micro's website.
