Yeah, LW and Max are the high-end programs, though LW seems to be the better one. As for TS, it's more high middle-of-the-road. Of course, I haven't used the newest versions, I'm still on an older one
LW is what a lot of effects houses use, like the one that did "The Lord of the Rings" movies. It's definitely for the hardcore modelers that want movie-quality effects. But, I think a lot of newer users find it a good program too. Eventually, I'm gonna get a new PC and LW
