Bryce has been good to me.  Most of the products I bought at Daz3D were with credit from images I submitted to the Bryce gallery there.

 

My concern with Bryce was always the conflict between the purists and the non-purists.  Put a cramp in my style.  If Brycers hadn't been so opposed to importing ready made product I think the market would have held out longer for Bryce.  Problem is Daz3D seems to care very little for the ugly step-child software.  Doesn't bring in enough revenue.

 

I still fire it up now and then but I don't render anything anymore.  Mostly vector stuff now.
