There are weightmapped versions of the old figures available. A lot of people use Sasha-16, a weightmapped version of V4, because she has the advantage of weightmapping and can use all the old V4 textures, morphs, and clothing. I like La Femme, but there's not nearly as much stuff for her as there is for V4.

I'm also anxiously waiting for Hivewire to release Dawn 2. She's really a whole different figure from the original Dawn, and it sounds like they learned a lot from the mistakes made on Dawn 1.
