Studio 4 has many new tools to work the triax figures; genesis, G2F/M, and even dawn. So you can transfer a lot of content to the triax figures with just s few simple steps. What that means is pretty much most anything for the mil4 figures can be transfer to Genesis. More over it is then an easy step to transfer it to G2F/M.

Now DAZ was done with genesis the day it was released. Genesis has never been updated to fix the issues it was released with, but ingenious users have found some nice workarounds for the issues. G2F/M is a jump up in functionality over Genesis. So if you were to invest in a figure{s} I'd recommend investing in G2F/M.

None the less I know what it is like to try to work with limited funds, your best investment will be morphs and the mil4 clones for autofit; so you can use mil4 clothes directly on G2F/M rather then autofiting them to genesis then to G2; converting a conversion can cause issues.

As much as I am down on DAZ for various reasons, the functionality of Genesis and G2F/M are worth stepping up and learning the new tools. I use genesis and G2F/M almost exclusivly now, and have had since Studio 4 came out; I was using genesis to begin with because of beta testing carrara 8.5, which was being built to be genesis, DUF compatible; wish they had actually followed through with that. 

Now I will refrain from expounding on DAZ's inept handling of genesis and autofit for genesis and just thank got they left the second generation triax figure up to PAs.
