Bryce has been untouched almost all the time that Corel owned it; DAZ is just now restarting development on it, and many of the features in 5.5 (discounting the integrated Daz Studio) were actually things that the old Corel team were reported to have been working on. Vue is the better value, as it has been in constant development, and is the flagship product of E-on. If you are only planning to do stills, then Vue5ProStudio would probably be best; it is cheaper, and you can select the modules you want to add. If you are animating, then save up for Infinite (or buy a cheaper version, get Infinite on the upgrade price, and sell the other one to a friend...just make sure you keep a copy of the install code. E-on keys things to your various serial numbers, and an upgrade version will ask for the App code you upgraded from as a verification). Download the Infinite show reel. That was animated by Phoul with Infinite, Poser, assembled in After Effects 6.5 and sound added with SonicFire Pro. Those futuristic cityscapes are the Dystopia models by Mobius 87 (the Poser version). The marching droids are the Dystopia Trooper sold at DAZ. But with the newest versions of Vue you get GI, IBL, HDRI, metablob primitives, and all sorts of goodies.
