I think the vegetation looks more realistic in Vue than in Bryce. I have both, but if you are going to be importing a lot of Poser figures into one of these programs I would go with Vue. I think Bryce is a better program than Vue, but importing Poser figures is a real pain. I wish Vue would improve the object placement tools. I don't like having to click X, Y, or Z every time I want to move something. Also, Vue doesn't seem to allow viewing the underground which I use all the time in Bryce for underground scenes (caves and tunnels). I also think that Bryce is easier to use in constructing buildings. In my opinion, but programs are excellent except for a few features between the two. If you can afford it, I'd go for both but you might want to try out the demos first. It all depends on what you are going to do with the programs.
