Ok, success! The suit conforms somewhat correctly, :) Thanks, Freebass and 3anson. 

The ankles of the suit still don't conform correctly, and there is pokethrough everywhere, but hey, it works for the most part. Now to do that for every bit of the armor, :-P 

Or perhaps I'll just use this suit in Poser since it seems to work fine there... 

But what's the deal? I thought a conformer was a conformer. Why does it work differently in the different programs?
