There is no doubt Vue can achieve great results for the price but it's not as good for purely landscape as Terragen and Mojoworld. This will be improved somewhat with the new procedural terrain but that's still a far cry from Mojoworld. Vue has great skies and lighting for outdoor scenes and is especially good for scenes with lots of plants but it tends to be better for use as a renderer of scenes containing objects created in other programs so you see then you have to have another application. This is why I'm questioning the value of this upgrade because if you have to buy say Cinema 4D, why invest further in Vue when you can upgrade Cinema for more advanced rendering to match the newer rendering capabilities of Vue 5? OK this module costs but look at the immense power. Then you have the possibility of an XFrog plugin as well, taking Cinema 4Ds plant or any organic procedural mesh generation for that matter to levels not possible in Vue.
