You can't really, "go wrong" with Vue, but I do have to say I have seen some AWB animations that are exceptionally good. However, in my opinion, Vue still images seem to generally seem more realistic. I have no idea what is capable with the AWB plants, but remember, the Vue ploants are this "Solid Growth" thing based on algorithims, and as such, are never identically the same. Plus, varying texture and trans maps, makes for even more variety, so to say that Vue has a limited number of plants is simply not true. AWB is an excellent product, from what I can tell, but I honestly don't think either program is "better" or more "worth it" than the other, because they are different. It all depends on how you go about it.
