On average, things tend to take less time to render in C5 than in Bryce...
However, there are some caveats to this...
1. YOu can configure your render in a lot more detail (options, depth of field) and the like than Bryce allows you.
2. The other thing is that C5 allows you to truly use a hyperthreaded processor like it was meant to be used (aka as a dual core). That can be turned on and off. Heat will be an issue, I have already had one processor shut down due to overheating.
C5 isn't as simple to use as Bryce...the learning curve seems to be a little bit steeper...(I'm mainly using it as a render engine right now)
In the end I guess my answer is...it can be worth it, if you are willing to take the time and effort to do it.
