Thanks all- you've answered my question quite nicely. I keep forgetting about the Mac side of this stuff(being a pc user). Also, I had not thought it through on the terrain editing aspect- that may be what the artist was referring to. I do like Vue better, but there are a couple of handy things I like Bryce for- ya know, just habits that you develope with a particular program. The vegetation in Vue definitely blows Bryce away.
