Quote - You are going to have to pay for Daz 4 Pro and Genesis morph packs separately in order to take advantage of all that genesis offers. Which can easily run you well above $500.

Poser 8 will only run you $130 on Amazon, and Poser pro and 9 about $70-$150..So why would you get 8 in the first place!? 

 The fact is this: You could pay for well over $500 for the most advanced figure and program for content creation, thereby having the ultimate package in 3D character creation/posing, or you could stick with Generation 4 characters and  a program that you're most comfortable with for only $150? (Seriously, Poser 9 for only $20 more, and you still want vers 8?) 

You don't need the Pro package to run genesis. Advanced is going to cost you around the same price as Poser 9. The OP hasn't bought Morphs++ for the M4 or V4, so he will need to buy that or just the Evolution morphs for genesis... so it's about the same in cost. The $500 part comes in if you want the content developer kit with the rigging tools and zbrush and photoshop bridges.

Quote -It would be wise to go with 9 and save up the money (And wait for specials) in order to fully take advantage of Daz's new figure/program and the eventual support of Genesis. 

Unless of course, you have the money to spend, in which case I'll simply add, "Buy the entire cake, and eat it as well!" ;^)  

I don't think it's wise to give advice to buy something now on the hope that the thing you may want to use is eventually supported. That's like buying 4 tires for a car that you hope you can drive... the tires may not even be the right size, but you told someone to just buy it.

But it all comes down with what you want to work with and go from there.
