From a purely practical point of view, I would have to say Vicky 2 also. I have Vic 1 & 2, and am still in love with Posette :). I think one of the smartest things that Daz did when Vic 2 came out was make her Vic2P4 :) (Gee now I know that wasn't original, it had really already been done with a while back with Vic1) anyway, it was a good thing to see. Made Vic 2 even more versatile. So we have all of Posette's free stuff, plus Vic 1's stuff plus all of Vic's textures. Dina is the effort of a lot of blood, sweat and tears from a man that I admire very much for his talent, dCort :) He is one of the best I think. However....Dina is fighting an uphill battle...very little freestuff, seems everything that came out for her initially was for sale (and I'm still seeing this, most is for sale not free, not good) Can't do a whole lot with just a bikini Well, the reason I don't have Dina right now is that after already shelling out money twice now for textures to go with two models that I've purchased, I really didn't want to have to do it a third time, especially since I didn't see much else coming out in support for her, clothing wise, morph wise etc...that and there just wasn't enough morphs built into her to be able to get her to a body shape that I wanted to work with.(that and there is sooooo much out there for Vicky, both free and for sale) So, for me she just was not a good buy. Simple as that. I simply don't have the money to support two different models, so Vicky won for me. I will say this tho'...I love the way that Dina's joints don't "break" when she is posed. She is much more "fluid" then Vicki is and does seem to require less postwork (from what I have been told and have seen) in the joint areas then Posette or Vicky. She also has more meat on her bones (not talking chest here) Vicky has always struck me as being a bit gangly and boney until you work with her body for a while. But... for pure versatility and ease of use at this time, I would have to say Vicky 2.
