Some of those Figure scenarios have to do with creator support.  If the creator drops out or moves into supporting other things, then its likely that the figure will eventually perish.  You can't just simply throw something out there and be done with it.

Poser needs things that revitalize the economy and interest of it all.  I don't see any investment lost if someone enjoyed what they got at the time of their investment.

Sticking with the same content can also be self-defeating.  If you already have all the pants you need for V4 and vow never to buy more of that clothing then it already suffers from self-saturation.  If it's all about putting everything for another figure onto a new one, be ready to learn new skills (or get frustrated).  That's not to say that we can't try to fill in some blanks here and there - nothing wrong with that.

There's also something to be said about throwing off the yoke of one master.  That's not a company bias as much as I don't necessarily believe in one figure to rule them all.

Use what you want and be happy, IMHO.  There's no money down to try Dawn for free at this time.  One can simply delete it and move on if there's no "spark".  No harm, no foul :)
