I tried both Wings and Blender and found that Wings was vastly easier - but that's just me. I also tried Anim8or, which I like for the ability it gives me to create a bowl, or wine glass with one simple wavy line and one click. Magic! I hear that Blender has now a new version just released with added menus... I think. Or was it a toolbar? Whatever it is it seems it makes using Blender a little easier for those of us who are keyboard shortcut challenged... me. All 3 are certainly worth a try.
