I think one look at the marketplace makes it clear what the average hobbyist Poser users (Those who bring in the $$$ for Rendo) really prefer:

A better figure or a more "PRO-like" render engine.

I'm pretty sure the G8 stuff outsells the Superfly products quite a bit.

That's a false dichotomy. If you look at popular DS renders on other sites, they are using newer figures, but they are also using physically based rendering. Firefly does a good enough job if you want something cartoonish, but people want realism. It's easier to get there with a physically based rendering engine and an OK figure than it is with a great figure and an only OK not physically based rendering engine. Your plane would look absolutely great in a Snoopy vs the Red Baron comic, if that's what you're going for.

Would I like better figures? Sure. Am I learning anything useful from your complaining? No, not really sure what the point is. Probably isn't one.
