DAZ will be faced with an even bigger problem when Poser 9 and Pro 2012 are released.   The new weight mapping for Poser will cross platforms with other higher end apps.  DS tri-axial mapping is supposed to work in the new versions of Poser but won't work in higher end apps. 

DAZ thought it was out doing SMS with Genesis but it may backfire on them.  They also have the price lists out for Advanced and Pro.  At the prices I'm seeing, there's no way I'd consider one, Genesis or no Genesis.
