VP is definitively a more professional prg, SA is super easy.  So it 
depends on what you want.  I use SA on my A3000T with 3.1 without any 
problems.  My roomie uses VP with his 3000 without problems.  We both 
have 14MBs or more, `030 or better, with Graphics Cards and MultiCX and a 
clock running, as well as other WBStartup proggys.

I've used SA 4.0 without any problems with crashing on a 1200, and on a 
500.  Both had 4.5 MBs por more, and the 500 used 2.1 OS while the 1200 
used the stock 3.0.

There was a guy who insisted that Scenery Animator had a glitch when 
rendering Anims.  I have never found this on any of my systems.  But if I 
were going to render out for video, I'd probably borrow Vista Pro from 
him and render out in 24Bit format... simply because the Vista Pro 
package produces higher quality output.

You should be happy with either product, though.

World Construction Set is advancing this type of package dramatically, 
though.  But the learning curve is yet higher for it.  And it may be true 
that you need a monster machine to use it (fast `030 or better CPU with 
GOBS of RAM)... but I don't know.  It's pretty expensive, so I can't 
afford it.  :(  I have to say that with what I've seeen of it, I doubt if 
I'd bring it back after buying it though, it's a NICE package.  It will 
require LOTS of HD space, and you need MUI.

Has anyone seen City Builder for the Amiga?
