I've got Bryce.... Terradome and Vue, so allow me to give my view on them.

Bryce, I'm like you, nver did get any decent scenes out of it. I look at some of the promo images and always wondered how people did it, I never get mine looking as good as theirs. I stopped fighting with Bryce and simply gave up.

I invested in Terradome, bought everything there is to get for it. I love and hate it at the same time. There is one hige problem with Terradome, I always seem to end up with 'dark', apocalyptic, steam punk like landscapes/scenes. Nothing bright and summer like and so. It's a great system, but it's geared at a certain group of users. Seeinbg who made it, that's not even strange. I've made some great storm scenes with it, apocalyptic ones and even some scifi stuff and it's awesome for that. Whenever I want to make nice and bright scenes, I do fail and Terradome suddenly shows it's weaknesses and doesn't look as impressive anymore and you need to do a lot of work and tweaking to even get some mere OK results. I often go back to good old IC3 for my brighter scenes, I get more usage out of that. so, if I want 'dark and more creepy' scenes Terradome is my pick, but unfortunately I prefer bright sunshine ones more, so I hardly use Terradome.

Then there's Vue..... Bought Vue 11 Frontier just after Christmas. I've used Vue in the past, Vue 6 Easel (a bit like frontier), but it was a bit like with Bryce, no stunning results for me. When starting up Vue 11, I was lost at first, but through some of the many tutorials available I did get the hang of it rather quickly. A few weeks later, I got Vue 10 Studio with some extra modules, acquired a license from someone else, E-On allows users to sell there license to someone else. At the beginning of this year some offered it and I bought it. All I can say is that Vue is awesome. Whatever scene you have in mind, you can do it and yes, it makes lovely summer day scenes, nice and bright :-) The only thing that I would advice is following tutorials, it really help to get used to Vue and create lovely scenes. Check out my gallery and see what is possible to do with Vue after using it only a few months or even better, follow the link to all of my images. I'm impressed how well it works with Poser stuff as well, but you do need a good computer to handle it all. Vue requires a lot more power and memory then Poser does.
