I like to make everything in a scene myself. I amost never use anything 'straight out of the box'. I always at least tweak a little. I think that most purists put more time in making their scenes. But some importers take that time to tweak the lighting and reflections to perfection. I don't think importers are less good or artistic, but sometimes I see people building their scenes from ready-made stuff like it was a bit of lego from the toybox. Importers have to have a nicer image for me to get teh same respect as a purist. Downloading and importing the perfect models needs the perfect textures too, while a very good tyr at modelling something really complex might seem just as good to me. But there are some really good importers and really good purists around. It hard to choose what's the best approach.
