i used to use infini-D as well. and for the first month of usig carrara 1.1 i swore that i would still probably do most of my work in infini-D. i was basically just used to infini-D. Once I got going with carrara, i never even thought about going back.

back in highschool when i first got into computer graphics (on a centris 660av) i was using Aldus SuperPaint. about a year later, my dad bought a scanner that came bundled with photoshop 2.5. It took me about another year before i was actually using photoshop.

i think you'll have a similar experience when ever you upgrade to a more powerful product. when you know how to get results in a lower-end product it can often be faster than stumbling around in a more powerful one.

at least that's my take on it.
