Point Of View — Description

"No, luv, this is not your heaven - this is my hell."
Following an exchange with a dear fellow artist I created a render for a speed race. Daz 4.24 vs. Daz 6 vs. AIRE (sorry folks, I am still not done with it).
Admittedly DAZ6 was twice as fast on my system, HOWEVER to get it going to just display the DAZ4 render (downloading in all 8 files "urgently required", which must have been there because it all worked in Daz4) took 20 minutes, plus finding my way around the workspace, which I configured to my liking in Daz4, but cannot be switched over to DAZ6 - thank you for that, dear programmers.
Why did I not change earlier? Well, I use some really dear plugins for cropping the workload, fiddle with lighting and so on. And if one looks closely, the render result is not the same either (see 2nd image).
Cutting render time in more than half is one thing, rendering in AIRE took 4 (!) minutes, compared to 2 hrs 21/1 hr in DAZ. The first try was completely off, but that was because of my settings. No. 2 was way better, but still did some changes I didn't want.
With both "new toys" it will take some playing around, so you'll probably see more "second helpings" - and I'd really appreciate all comments on that.
