Okay, money is not an object in this discussion.  I already bought Poser 7 and am happy with it. Additionally, I don't find Poser's cost prohibitive, so future upgrade fees are not an issue. 

So far, I've spent years learning the Poser interface and like the results I get. I particularly use the sketch render engine to produce b&w artwork, but I do enjoy making color images and animations every now and then.

So, that being said, I'd like to hear more about the reasons I should consider switching to Daz Studio or at least giving it another try.  To be honest, I tried ver. 1 and wasn't interested -- it just wasn't ready for prime time, yet. 

So, (and please don't mention price), does Daz Studio do things better/faster than Poser 7, or is it worth playing with? I really don't have a lot of time, and if DS isn't all that great, I'd rather spend the time playing with Manga Studio than learning a cut-rate version of Poser.

By the way, I will make a rare "cross post" of this question over at the Daz Studio forums to hear about this subject from people who have made the switch.

Thanks in advance for the help!
