I actually like using male figures and would render them more often, but it seemed the content was always so limited for what I wanted to do.  And then there were the projects I gave up on because I found M4 to just be a pain to work with sometimes.

Replacing M4 was my whole reason for investing anything into Genesis, and I've been quite satisfied with Gen1/M5 after I figured out the quirks.  Though it did mean that I lost having a native male figure I could import into Vue.  (I'm sure it can be done, but I've just found it easier to move that particular workflow to Reality for the time being.)

I personally like the look of M5 over M6, but Gianni could be very useful to me.  If G2M is continuing to get reasonable support, it might finally be time to invest in it.

And of course I'm watching Dusk with interest.  I know I could really use a native male figure that's not M4 but has solid support.  Just have to decide if I spend my budget now on G2M or sit and wait until Dusk's eventual release.
