I'll chime in here and say that Carrara has an excellent renderer. In fact, maybe the best renderer on the market for apps in Carrara's price range -- with the possible exception of the low-end of Vue.
Poser's render engine is by far and away Poser's most glaring weakness - in addition to Poser not 'playing well' with other apps. I'm hoping that Poser Pro will address all of these weaknesses.
I'm sold. Let's all go out and buy C4D: and ignore all other 3D apps. 
I might get into the C4D game one of these days. Frankly, the thing that's really caught my attention with C4D is the fact that it comes bundled together with Bodypaint. I have to admit that's a deal.
Odd, too......I've heard others describe MAX as being "rock solid". I'm not a MAX user -- but I am a regular user of a different Autodesk app -- and AutoCAD is a long ways from being a "strange" piece of software. BTW - this is also the first that I"ve heard that LW3D is "falling apart". But I have seen a lot of praise elsewhere for LW's latest incarnation - 9.2.
