Quote - I read that Victoria 5/Genesis will not work in Poser 9 but have limited use in poser pro 2012
I don't think this should be the deciding factor for most people, but just to clarify: Genesis can be exported from DAZ|Studio and will work exactly the same between Poser 9 and Poser Pro 2012. The only difference there is that you can't modify the rig in Poser 9.
Going from Poser 8 to Poser 9, the big differences are:
Greatly improved preview rendering, if that's important to you
Very good subsurface scattering shaders (e.g., for skin and plastic-like substances)
The ability to read in and use (but not modify) custom weight mapped figure rigs; modification tools for weight mapped rigs are only available in Poser Pro 2012.
There's a lot of other new stuff that may or may not be of interest to you, take a look at the features list:
