I feel that Poser will move away from the PoserSurface and replace it with the PhysicalSurface node.  There are fewer parameters to keep track and the connections are more efficient.  I will need to run Firefly renders with both PoserSurface and PhysicalSurface but from what I see, the PhysicalSurface node produces better results.

There is an awful lot of content out there that uses PoserSurface root, I suspect it will remain for backward compatibility with older content. The tricky part will be getting content creators fired up to use it.

And for the record, Physical Surface root works MUCH better with PBR Metal and Roughness maps than the Spec and Gloss maps used in PoserSurrace. 

I totally agree.
