A figure is a component of Poser - and Poser is a system in every sense of the word. A ddeciding factor is the labor savings that come from being able to purchase or download free additional clothing, props and textures. Putting aside that I think Vicki2 is a superior figure technically and imagining that the figures are equal... The fact that I can easily purchase add-ons for Vicktoria is a huge labor savings for me.
