If it is not asking too much I would like to request that this thread be focused on practical reasons why DS end-users should embrace this either as an alternative to G2/V6 or as an add-on to Genesis.  

Some will like it just because it is new and not Genesis and not DAZ.  Some will like it just because.  That's fine but not particularily helpful when trying to determine how to proceed as an end-user. 

If vendors embrace it for DS, as well as, Poser, this may be significant because it could provide end-users with an indication where we will need to focus our new investment in content.  For Genesis users, it has not been too much of an issue that vendors continue to support V4 because we can make most of this content work on Genesis.  What about using Dawn content on Genesis?  On V4?  How many vendors will provide Dawn content for Poser and combine that with a "Not tested in DS" on the write-up?

I have already given just a few reasons why-not.  It was helpful to know that autofit can be made to work.  I will take a look and perhaps that one can be scratched off the list...

It would also be helpful to hear from others who have the similar concerns.  Also those who have already found enough practical reasons to cross this bridge, so to speak.  I think, for a lot of us with a great deal of time and money invested in DS and DAZ figures, it is not an easy decision to make.
