Depends on how you view your hobby. 

I have friends that will get the newest video card so they can play the latest video games, some that will spend $600 to upgrade their $200 RC Plane so it can handle better.

Me I'm always looking for a better looking and performing male character. This one bends much better (especially without the 'exploding butt' Genesis 1 had) and I'm able to morph it into better looking guys, so it's worth the investment to me.

Agreed.

G2M is a really good looking figure, and he's free so there's no reason to not download and try him out. It would take all of 10 minutes or less, and costs nothing. He's not perfect, but so far he's the best male figure released IMO. 

I never got M5 (funds and all that) so I can't really compare him to M5. I think the faces are very similar, and he looks like he's built a lot like D5, but since I don't have him either I can't really compare those. 

But he's leaps and bounds better than M4. Really no comarison there at all. I think his pecks could have been worked better, but that's definitely not a deal breaker. It can be fixed with a few adjustment morphs in ZB. 

I haven't invested in M6 yet. I want to but I have to watch every penny I spend. I did get the G2M face and body morphs bundle. I want the whole package, but I can't afford it right now, so I don't want to buy the base M6 just to have to re-buy him again when I can get all his parts. That does piss me off how they set up the pricing for that but whatever. 

Regardless, it's inspired me to finally learn DS, which isn't difficult to begin with. I'm working on building a Celtic/Viking style set for G2M. If all goes well, I'll adapt it to M4 and Gen1 once its finished. Overall the G2M has got me coming up with all kinds of new ideas for add-ons.
