Mmm. Kind of. For me it is has always been a different cup of tea. Bryce for the landscapes and skies and seas, Carrara for everything but the girl (which would come from Poser). I find texturing in Carrara much easier and it has landscape tools (including trees). Check out mmoir around here for examples. But I am not very impressed by it's skies for instance, I use photographs for that. It is much faster rendering. But ofcourse it is possible to crank up everything to get Bryce-like rendertimes. If you want landscapes Carrara might not be the first logical choice, but if you want great non-organic modelling (including subdivision surfaces, vertex modelling and spline modelling) and excellent rendering (hdri, global illumination, radiosity) Carrara 3.2 is hard to beat! Especially considering the price tag. Check the Carrara yahoo group for more enthousiast users!
