I personaly like working in Carrara better than RDS 5.5. The work flow is much smoother in Carrara. I still do all my modeling in RDS 5.5. Carraras modeler crashes more than RDS's did. So - I just save every 5 minutes when modeling in RDS.. ;) I render in Carrara. I like the way it renders better than RDS. The Lens Flares in Carrara beat the pants of the ones in RDS. The Shader editor is a little more advanced as far as I can tell. If it were me, Yes, I would go for the upgrade from 5.5 to Cararra. I hope this helps a little bit. Clint
