Well, I know I'm kidding a bit. But Sketchup Pro costs $500 or so, plus $250 extra to add VRay for Sketchup. VRay for Max costs about $1300 extra.

Don't forget what PPro2012 can do, with Materials Room, Indirect lighting and Cloth Room in skilled hands. And it just took about $100 to upgrade from PPro2010.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
