Well, I'll just come right out and say "Get Vue!". The primary reason is that you have much more control over placement of objects in a scene, and significantly more control and ability to alter objects, and the individual components of objects. (Things like their color, shinyness, etc. More control translates into ease of use. (I have a copy of Bryce, I make commercial products for it, and I participate somewhat in its very large user community. The user community is providing a much greater level and quality of support for the Bryce product than the manufacturer, so it will persist for a long time. The artist community of Bryce users is just as good as the Vue artist community and it is larger.) But still, Vue offers you more capability,in the end. Get Vue - you will never regret it.
