Vue supports PoserFusion, which means you can import your Poser scenes right into Vue. It has some limitations but overall its really useful for working with Poser.

TerraDome is really useful but options are very limited. There are lots of packs out there, but its not like these have the same flexibility as Vue. If there's a pack available that you like and, you are just showing a character with a little background, TerraDome is going to do the trick.

Vue on the other hand is a best of class software for natural scenery. I use it all the time in my marketing renders, and I can whip up something that doesn't look terrible pretty quickly.  With Vue, you can create really convincing looking outdoor scenes, import characters and other objects and make the most of our computer resources. I use it also extensively for interior scenes too, and setting up cameras, etc are a snap. Poser is just not suited for complex scenes that aren't specifically focused on the character.

For example, see my image below, which shows a render of an interior area of my Tower of Conjuration, a model in the Towers of Magic series. Its not really great, I know. But just setting up the camera and lights took me less than 10 minutes, and the render took about 55 minutes. I could just as easily have set up a seated model and placed it on that throne.

 

You need to decide what is important to you in terms of your art. Vue is very much a pro tool. For a pro tool, its really not all that hard to use. But its much more expensive than TerraDome.
