I think the sci fi pack is an addon for the more basic levels of vue...

complete is for smaller production scale, and doesn't have as many features as infinite.  there's a comparison chart on E-on's website that should help.

Rarer than a hairy egg and madder than a box of frogs....

Infinite is for the more hard-core user or studio use, basically, and also costs a lot more :p

oh THIS is the comparison chart for complete vs infinite, actually ;)

There are few differences between infinite and complete. You can see the full list in the links in the posts above.
In my opinion they dont justify the additional cost.
If money is no object - by all means, buy infinite. Otherwise, it depends what features you think you will need.
Important note: The real problem is that there is no official  way to move from complete to infinite if you change your mind or your needs change in the future.
There is a free trial version of both versions of the program. I think the version of infinite is not time limited, so you can use it as long as you want, and figure out if you need the extra features. If you havnt used vue at all - that is probably the wisest way to decide.

Be careful with e-on.  Their upgrading and updating policy IMO has become a SCAM.

go play with Terragen2, please :)
there's a difference between commenting on systems we don't like, or that have flaws...and accusations of a scam, which is a criminal act.

Atheiestnation,
"Light tune" is a must if you want realism in renders, but sitll takes a while to learn the tricks.

Then after that it's 3DImport, so you can import all kinds of goodies OR Ecosystems, dpeending on what you like doing (ecosystems are a must for landscapes with lots of plants/trees, but 3Dimport lets you use Psoer folk and all kinds of content from buildings to space stations etc)
