On my last image ("Lost Soul") I remarked that I couldn't believe what DAZ had done with Bryce 5.5--you get almost no new features and if you don't have that other product of theirs, only Bryce5 like I do it's $70 for almost nothing. lordstormdragon suggested that this is a better topic for the forums, so here I am. =) I would say no. Sure it's a bit faster, I would imagine that maybe they even got it back down to Bryce4's render speeds. And yes, I hear that they improved the importing capabilities quite a bit. But $70? FOR AN UPGRADE? They should price the upgrade at something more like 10 or 15 and sell the entire package with no upgrade for 100. This seems very fair to me considering the near absence of new features.
