If you can afford it and money is no object then I'd say get both programs. But if you can only get one then I'd say Vue.
Dale_B makes some excellent points about the soon-to-be-delivered Vue 6I. Posability in Vue......tweaking scenes without having to switch back & forth between the two programs......GREAT! And the P6 shaders working in Vue......what more could you want?
It's true that you can model in Carrara. But Carrara's modeling toolset is very basic. A lot of Carrara users who model do their modeling in Hexagon -- which is a separate program that you have to buy. And Hexagon has its detractors, too. I've got Hexagon, but I haven't tried it out yet -- so I can't venture an opinion on it one way or the other. If you are looking into serious modeling then you'll need to look beyond what Carrara can do by itself.
They are both good programs. IMO, you really can't go wrong either way. But for now I give Vue the edge overall. And after Vue 6 comes out......at that point there might not be much of a comparison Vue/Carrara for integration with Poser.
Until Carrara (DAZ) comes out with something new..........
