The genesis figures are all based on the same mesh,they can be made into anything from what I've seen here and other places. And I haven't played with ds for, well, never seriously. You have poser ten, a lot of the things that you'd have to pay for in DS are included in Poser ten already. I have never wasted any money on any of the genesis things, first, dson does nothing but crash my computer, and my opinion of DS itself is worse than a virus. It may have "improved", but I'll never know.
Dawn and dusk are genital free. if you want genitals, that means additional expense from another vendor that makes them. I had Dawn, thought so much of that, she ended up in the recycle bin fast. I have vicky 4.2 and most of the morph packs, were I looking for that kind of figure, she might get some use. For bending cleanly, Roxie and Rex are the best in my opinion. Mike 4, maybe usable the way he comes with the morphs ++, but like all daz offerings, without the added morph packs, not much use. Dawn and Dusk are free, and without added morphs, solid oak. Expressions limited,(may have been fixed by now, I don't know) weight mapped, I don't know how well. Glitter gave a list of weight mapped figures but they are poser only, will not work in DS. Some have had luck with using DSON and Poser, I start DSON and my computer reboot is the only way it does anything after that.
Firefly render engine in Poser, poor as some say it is, still much faster than DS's native engine. You'll see a lot of third party render engines for DS, with reason. Poser has occasional updates available, free with the s/n of your copy. DS gets another verson, another interface instead.Poser has a manual on disk, DS doesn't have a manual. Third party blogs are not a manual. The much hated Alyson included with poser is not a bad figure if you use what is included in morph capability. Anastasia, nice for a younger figure, based on Alyson. However, an "out of the box" Alyson is anything but pretty. Turning dials is required and effective.
DS dynamic cloth has exactly one vendor, Poser dynamic won't work and the other way around applies. Poser weight mapped figures don't work in DS.
I don't know if Poser 10 has the morph tools, I have poser pro2014 and that one tool cures a multitude of pokethrough sins easily. The fitting room for clothing requires a bit of working with, but works. These are not simple softwares, they require some getting used to. Personal taste plays a huge part in deciding which to use.
Choice is yours as you have them both, what works for you is something nobody else can tell you, that's something you have to decide.
