Oh yes, Bryce is great for good graphics on the cheap :-)

But 3dsmax is great for (potentially) better graphics on (and this next one is a key factor for me) short timescale provided u have a larger budget (or a good investor with the budget to buy u a copy)

Carrara just brings Drac closer to that speed and technology improvement within his budget but dont be sad, I'm sure he'll come up with some great new freebies which we can render in bryce and try to make look better then his carrara rendered versions. you know, just so we can tease him a little and say "Hah! my brycean cutesy wootsey little darling of a render of your model owns your carrara render!"
