For me cost is not the issue with DS4...after all, it ain't like Poser is free ;). What does bother me thought is the lack of dynamic cloth with personal objects. I  make my own. Deal breaker right there. Also, the plugin architecture bothers me for this kind of product. A plugin is needed for almost every core function. Sure, you can use the free version - IF you wanna knock yourself back to Poser 4 style stuff. I'm beyond that ;). Also, there is no mention at all of dynamic hair. Someone may be planning it, but there again - another plugin. By the time you're done getting all the plugins that bring it up to Poser's functionality you've been nickled and dimed to death. Not to mention Daz's penchant for breaking plugins with updates. Poser is enough of a hair-puller...lol. Nah ;).
