O.k. to answer your question about differences …

Cycles is unbiased like Maxwell, Fry and Arion,
but the terminology for Material definitions
and its used parameters are slightly different
and you can use nodes for the material creation
as well, which Maxwell does not have.

Lighting wise there are no watt/lumen etc. presets/
settings for different lamp types in Cycles like Maxwell has,
nor a physically sun you can set the hours / day etc.

I think if you download Blender and play
with Cycles or Evee settings a bit you see
the differences compared to Arion and Fry.
