But, you don't have to go into the material room to apply an mc6. Just double click. Exactly the same as a pz2.

The issue really is simple - if I'm buying something metal, I want it to look like metal instead of grey plastic. Hair should look like hair and not helmet head.

I just tried adding an .mc6 in the Pose Room. It turns out the only reason it didn't work before is that I didn't have the correct materials selected. So it'll work, but I still have to go into the MR and select the figure. Not a huge issue, but it's still an extra step.

You can get good metal and hair materials in a .pz2. Are you talking about in DAZ? Then yes, DAZ-specific materials would be needed. If a .pz2 material looks bad in Poser it's because the material is bad. It has nothing to do with the file format.
