With what you want to accomplish I would take a serious look at formZ. It has great NURBS tools along with new Sub-Division tools and the ability to change a Sub-Division object to a NURBS object in a single click.
I love MOI, it is a great modeler, but formZ is really cool, very easy to learn and extremely deep and powerful. It will even do animations of your models. There is a 30 day free trial of the Pro version, so you can check it out yourself.
