It's an interesting question, as Poser has a hair room.  It certainly looks like a nice product, escpecially on the animal furs!  Great job!

It makes one wonder if the expression of interest is indicative of a desire of Smith Micro to focus on other improvements internally (versus the hair room)...while allowing 3rd parties use the new API to improve upon those things that they may not have time to update (which is fine)

If I knew they were not improving the hair room, then I would say, yes.  If I knew they were improving the hair room....then I would probably wait to compare.  Without knowing either way, it is hard to say.

It would be nice to hear some feedback from SM about their future product roadmap, or even in respect to this particular room.
