IMHO, Bryce is harder to learn, but produces much better renders. (Don't have Poser 5, have 4, 5 is supposed to have a new improved rendering engine). I think one of the biggest reasons may be that Poser has DAZ. There is nothing comparable available to Bryce users. BTW, I'm not saying Bryce is a better program. I have Bryce 5, Poser 4, and Photoshop Elements 1. I consider these my digital art tools, and use them in different combinations, according to the piece I'm working on. I don't get into those my program rules, yours sucks, kind of arguments. It's like saying a fork is better than a spoon. It depend on whether you're eating a salad or soup. Sorry, drac, I just started ranting after the word "users". Previous to that was my answer to your post. And I spend most of my forum time here, just because I like Brycer talk better. (Brycers know what I mean.) I do go to the Poser Forum when I need help with using Poser, and they are very helpful, just like here. (Ranting again) :^)
