With no documentation for DS4, and an entirely different system, basic program, method of use, that makes DS the better choice?  I think not. The learning curve for DS is nearly as steep and long as that for Blender.  Poser at least has fairly decent documentation included, a huge improvement from the "manual" they sent with P5 which was more confusion than use.  Infinitely better than DS, which is, "Figure it out yourself". 

I'm not a fan of "V-things" or "M-things", I may use them when I'm forced to, but that's getting to be less and less.  DS4 has a free version, but V5 is far too expensive for me to look at, considering there isn't any way to use her beyond DS conveniently.  And DS does very little without the infusion of large amounts of money for the myriad plugins, that may not work with the next version.  Third party solutions to deficiency in the basic program is not a viable solution.  It's one that DAZ has no control over, and no guarantee it will continue.  Anastasia and Antonia are indications of what might come next, I'm just waiting to see if SM will pick up the ball and run with it.
