...I'm finding that posing, morphing, and thus, character creation is better (at least from my experience) in Poser Pro (2010) than Daz Studio. Yeah, proportioning requires a few more steps but the final results look so much better.

Two really nice features are the cloth room and the fact Pro 2010 has Wardrobe Wizard built in (only need toget the Daz figure packs).  The ability to "clothify" clothing content is a real bonus and now makes my investment in Marvelous Designer 2 (personal version) very useful.

I also feel 2010 has better memory management than Studio3Advanced (my system is unable to handle ver. 4) as I am able to render even with full raytracing and AO which would normally crash the Studio application.

Still need to become more comfortable with Poser's lighting system.   The light sphere is somewhat tricky to use compared to Daz's direct manipualtion and I do miss the ability to "see" through a light as if it were a camera (which is especially helpful when you have an anemic graphics chipset that can only display a limited number of lights).

Overall, I feel poser Pro 2010 is "gentler" on my old 32 bit notebook than Daz Studio 3Advanced.  Renders in Firefly (even with ray tracing and transmaps) are way quicker and generate less heat than 3Delight.  IBL with soft shadows still chokes a bit, but that is expected with any 3D application because of all the calculations involved.
