Photoview 360 is the future?

Can someone point me to a thread or discussion on why this is better than photoworks?  I know many people did not like Photoworks, but I can't figure out why this has replaced it.

How do i actually get a preview?  When clicking integrated preview the model just flashes white, never renders.  The preview window works but is in my way.

The decals I have applied just disappeared.  They were there for the first five minutes, previewing nicely, then after changing the a bg color, they are blank white.

I can't figure out how to adjust shadows like photoworks, these shadows aren't working for me.

How do I get glass and clear plastic to render correctly and not appear black?  I feel like I need to adjusting the number of refractions, but where?

Unfortunately 50% of my work is rendering, customers love it, and we are saving time and money by eliminating some sampling/prototyping stages.  Im am pretty good at photoworks, I haven't had a model I couldn't render nicely, exactly the way I want.  With PV360 I can't come anywhere near replicating what I did before.
