You should go to the Vue gallery and check out some of the landscapes there. (you can sort by genre) Quite a few of us use both Vue vegetation and XFrog trees in our landscapes. That should give you a pretty good idea. XFrog trees do tend to be "heavy", but you can save them as vob (Vue objects) and then populate your ecosystems with them. As far as the Vue vegetation is concerned, you can change the bark and leaf materials, and in the plant editor you can do a lot of editing to the plant shapes as well as increase the resolution, so they can actually look a lot better up close than it seems at first.
