From the little work I have done with a demo version of Lightwave, any amateurish render done in Lightwave beats any professinal render in Carrara hands-down. It;s just another level of photo realism.

In my experience, Lighwave is actually easier to learn than Carrara, considering the vast amount of features it offers.

each engine lacks of something and you have to tweak lights or materials to fit the result to your needs; if you wanna test lightwave, load a couple of samples from megascans library and see if it comes out instantly like the image below, rendered in carrara 8.5
