TBH I've never found the preview to be very useful in terms of lighting and what I'm going to see in a final render. When I switched to Superfly mats it bothered me for about 5 min not to have a textured preview but it hasn't bothered me since. The only thing that really needs to have a preview is the background shader and/or lighting dome. I use a poser base for my lighting dome so I can see it. Makes no difference in how it works in Superfly if it's using Poser surface or Cycles.

Originally, my Anuli used Cycles root, and I've had customers complain that it was very troublesome and annoying to not be able to see what makeup she had in the preview. :(

A lot of times I have to balance what I want to do with what my customers want to have... (if not for that, I wouldn't be bothering making Firefly materials at all, as I don't use Firefly LOL)
