Honestly, if I were planning to use Poser again any time soon, I'd happily dish out the 99 bucks just for the Cycles update. I don't even know which version they're upgrading to and what the specific changes are, but the work the Blender folks have been doing in the past years has been outstanding, and I'd simply trust that it would be worth it for me. I might focus on nudes for a while, go back to draping my clothes in MD and importing them or maybe even import draped clothes from P13.

Obviously, that's not worth a thing for anyone who prefers Firefly.

The cycles updates are trivial.  They added RGB ramp, MX Closure weight, Vector displacement and and Displacement. Still way behind Blender, and no live preview or micro facet displacement.

Those updates you mention were introduced in Poser 13.  Poser 14 has a completely revamped PrincipleBsdf Node, a modified Principle Hair node, and a corrected RGBramp node.  They are now falling in line what Blender 5 has to offer.
