I have been using poser since about 2001 maybe longer, and only just started to dabble in Daz, and I'm not really seeing this issue, Iray much like Reality although just not exsternal and a lot better and nicer to use, can safely say there are things in poser that are good and things in Daz that are good, although I cant seam to find an area render in Daz as yet.

Getting old and still making "art" without soiling myself, now that's success.
