Daz has awesome things, but if you don't want to spend a fortune, just stick with basics..for example you could get Mike2 who comes with Stephanie so you wouldn't have to purchase Vicky right away..and there are tons of great free stuff to get you started. The P4 people really can't compare to daz people, it is a good investment for sure, they will make your whole poser experience much more enjoyable....Hope that helps answer your question
