This is a great thread! I saw so many 'to die for' renders from Bryce that I just had to buy it. I also got the Real World Bryce 4 book. I couldn't figure it out. The interface was so small, and the tools confounded me. I was doing well enough in Poser, and I wanted a world for 'my people', LOL. I was so discouraged at my lack of understanding and talent, I uninstalled Bryce. I got a demo of Vue... and WOW! Everything clicked! Well, not everything - at first. But enough to give me confidence to keep going. It just got better and better for me. So, I reinstalled Bryce thinking I could nail it now. No way. I still can't work in it. Not sure why, must be a mental block. Can anyone explain why Vue seems so easy and natural, while Bryce is so confusing in it's 'rooms' for materials, skylab, etc? Are these the 'high-end' features of the future? Same thing with Poser 5. Various rooms instead of pop outs that don't cover the entire screen. To me, this is the beauty of Vue. You can still see your screen while you make your choices...
