How Effective Are Clothing Convertors?

I've been eyeing the convertors as there are a fair few gen 2 and V4 clothes I'd like to use with gen 8 and and I noticed https://www.daz3d.com/rssy-clothing-converter-from-genesis-2-female-to-genesis-8-female is on sale right now. Just wondering how effective these convertors are and how much/what kind of work is required to get these outfits to fit properly. Specifically how well they fit and move with the rig, as I port the models to blender so shaders and such in daz are moot for me.

Slight sidenote due to the V4 sales going on right now, how compatible are these V4 outfits with gen 8? I don't see a similar convertor for V4. Admittedly a little mixed up as to which are the more recent versions with some of the pre gen 8 stuff.
I don't know about V4 compatibility! But I think they're Genesis, not Genesis 2.
In any case, RSSY's converters work just fine! They won't convert anything, but more than 90% of it, and you won't see them as a product, but you'll see them in smart content (matched to G8) anyway!
V4 was before Genesis.
There's no batch converter for V4 clothes to G8 right now.
This enables you to autofit V4/M4 clothes to Genesis 8: https://www.daz3d.com/sy-victoria-4-and-michael-4-clones-for-genesis-8 It works well with some items and less well for others.
Another option is to autofit V4 clothes to Genesis (1), then autofit the G1 version to G8F. This has the advantage of beeing free, but once again it will work more or less well depending on the kind of item you try to convert.
Thanks, I was wondering this too! :D
