Moriador,  Cross-post!

As a member in good standing of group 2, you nailed it.  For me anyway. 

As far as genesis, the problem isn't with the figure - it is with the vision of the vendors making content for it.  The only vendor I know of that is making full use of the genesis capabilities is Male3dia.  He has made a wide variety of ethnicities, sizes etc.  It's a shame really, I feel a lot of vendors have missed an opportunity by just continuing to make the same old stuff as opposed to pushing the tech where it could really go.
