"And if you do animation, the difference simply becomes blatant"? ...if you do animation it's a lot less important. If you do stills then there's a stonger arguement for more 'realistic' options. I suppose some people like to put individual pixels under a microscope in an animation, although I personally could care less. But we're beating a dead horse. You've made it clear you don't like Carrara, petshoo. Don't buy it...
