Sorry, but I can't agree with that. I think I can be consider as a "pro", I even have a box of XSI Advance at 30 cms from my head.
Then, I will give you my opinion:
That's true that XSI is not at all for beginners or even intermediate users. But I think that users like MoxStudios, which spend a lot of time everyday on 3D, may feel restrict by some software limitations and then, to improve his skills and 3D possibilities, may have a look to a more "professionnal" software, then, XSI can be a very good choice.
But I don't say that Carrara which he already use is not a software for professionnal. Building a still render, with a simple scene is very easy and very fast. Setting up a scene with a simple skylight/HDRI is also simple. It also includes a lot of other powerful tools, to create landscape for example, that you won't find for XSI. But if you want to do complexe scene, with a lot of models inside, if you want to do advanced animation, with characters, complex behaviors, then, Carrara is not the best choice.
And honnestly, everybody here will be able to tell you that I'm one of the users who know the best Carrara ;)
For my own use, I still use Carrara, but more I do 3D, the less I use it. But it's for my needs and I still continue tell to a lot of users to buy it/use it ;)
