Vue is a lot more robust and has all kinds of additional features, but I have Terradome & love it. In my opinion, it's kind of like saying, do you want a Ferrari or a Volkswagon. Well, that Ferrari sure would be nice because of the speed and features, but for getting around town, a Volkswagon is a lot easier, cheaper and safer to deal with (Volkswagon = Terradome, which is wonderful because it's native to Poser).

You can get some awesome renders out of Terradome. The built-in lights are very good for outdoor scenes as well. If you need more skies, you can also buy Flink's various skydome products (sold here at Renderosity). Just don't load the Terradome sky but add Flink's skydome and skies. You won't get custom lighting with Flink's like you do with Terradome-specific add-ons but it does vastly expand the variety of skies available.

If you go with Terradome, I recommend getting the add-on packs for morphs & surface textures. I've been pleased with them. Aquazone is particularly useful. You can create some additional ground textures for yourself by substituting their textures with some of Hobobo's free textures over at ShareCG (Hobobo has uploaded literally thousands of free textures).

I like Terradome so much that I've often thought that Smith Micro should buy it out and embed it natively into Poser, simply because it would make Poser seem more robust out of the box.

However, you can get some seriously gorgeous renders with Vue. And you have a ton of options for creating and manipulating terrains and the atmosphere. Keep in mind that there's a whole content market just for Vue. So, if you're looking to get monetarily bled dry for yet another type of content, well, there you go. LOL. Seriously, one negative of Vue is that Poser figures don't always happily go into Vue. I'll let someone who uses Vue talk to that pros and cons of that & Vue in general since I'm barely even a novice in Vue.
