I was skeptical at first, but I've enjoyed using the Genesis figure since I bit the bullet and got some "shpaes" for it.  I was resistant at first, but like many people with V5, I realized that if I was going to be able to get M5 when he is released next year, I'd have to be running DS of some flavor on my computer.  I can really see both sides of this issue.  If I knew of the definite release of a decent looking Michael alternative by some 3rd party content provider, I probably would have held out longer.  I was thrilled when Antonia came out, I just don't see any new male figure on the horizon that will be  equivalent to her.

I get tired of using the same figures all the time, like other people I get excited by fresh, new content.  I've hardly touched Poser since I got Daz Studio 4 Advanced; but I don't intend to give up on it.  

Here's hoping that Smith Micro starts investing on creating new, better looking people (wieght mapped of course), and that they start supporting add-ons for them in the same way the G2 series had support.  For a while there the G2 people had new outfits coming out on a regular basis in different themes from historical to contemporary.
