Yes, 3Delight is a great render engine but like you said need to deal with licensing use to get the full potential. But D|S dont have a modeler option, dynamic hair and other things. Carrara isan all in one solution, not only a pose and render software, its is like I like to say: a  little Vue,  withsome Lightwave and Zbruh tools. I think in some more releases it can be more and more powerfull and get a place among the big ones.
