Quote - To clarify.. I think the OP already has poser 8, not that he is looking to buy it.

Also a lot of the advanced features genesis has over previous generations figures is available to poser as a program however most content currently available has been designed to only leverage poser 4 or 6 level features.  As more poser 9/pro 2012 specific content rolls out you will see a distinct narrowing of the gap between genesis and the other figures 

OOPS! My mistake, it would be good to see some competition between these companies grow! Varied choices will benefit the consumer, and drive the companies in bettering their product!

@ Tomsde:

M2 and M4 were the best of Daz's figures, My avatar is made from M2!
