I am still a beginner to Blender, but can already recommend it over MED for the actual modeling. The interface can be confusing at the beginning but once you learned a few key hotkeys (like for scaling and extruding) its a big improvement. Also export to MED is easy, after which you can easily correct size & angle of the model if needed and e.g. add your skins and shaders if you haven't already done so in Blender.
MED is right at the edge of being good enough for me at the moment however once I make the switch to A8 I'll most likely switch to modeling with something more complex. Modeling with a 3D mouse is so awesome cool
, cool to hear that. Do you think a 3d mouse has enough hotkeys for key operations (e.g. transformations, extruding etc.)?
And do find it handy for 'flying/walking' through/around your model?
