Hi Sharif, I've heard from quite a few MoI users that use MoI in combination with Simlab Composer, so that would be a good choice. I've also heard of some people using Thearender as well so that's another good one to try out. So I think you're already going in a good direction.

There's also Keyshot which is great in the easy to use area but I think is outside your price limit.

There are a bunch of other rendering programs that do a whole bunch of stuff like rendering, modeling, painting, animation, physics simulations, etc... Like Modo, Maya, etc... these tend to be quite a bit more complex to learn though.
