What is the advantage? Why would I get bryce instead of Vue or 3dsMax that can do the same thing in minutes that bryce takes days or weeks to do. Why get an app that can't export to other apps?

Well, if you have the financial resources and want some serious power, get 3dsMax! I use Max myself, and there's really no comparing it to either Vue or Bryce (it's a lot more powerful). ;-) Oh, and if you have a few extra bucks after getting it, I recommend grabbing the Vray render plugin for the fastest GI and raytracing on the market. hehe. So in total, you would need:

$3000 for 3dsMax single license, and another $800 if you want the Vray plugin. Oh, and maybe another $200 if you want BodyStudio, which imports an entire Poser .PZ3 file (including dynamic hair and cloth) into Max.

But as for VUE, the only advantage I see in getting Bryce over Vue is the price (Bryce is cheaper), and also (as I just found out today) Bryce has network rendering. I don't think Vue can network render, though I might be wrong.

If you have a few computers in your house, you can use them as a render farm with Bryce, which should dramatically "speed up" it's rendertimes for you. If none of that matters to you, then there really is no obvious "advantage" of getting Bryce over Vue. ;-)
