I just purchased MoI today (Apr 2) after a month long trial. The trial time is really generous and I appreciate that. For me, MoI has features that other CAD/3D modelers lack. I also have paid licenses for Rhino3D as well as Maya.
1. The workflow, from creating curves, extruding, lofting and even object selection is very intuitive. For example, it's very simple to create multiple closed curves, then extrude them into multiple solids. Lots in common with rhino but easier to use with less clutter.
2. The export to OBJ creates very clean quads and triangle meshes. This is extremely important if your models are going to be used in real-time rendering. I have, in the past, wasted far too much time and money cleaning up crappy mesh exports from other packages.
3. Scripting - I see a lot of power here - hopefully we'll see more complete docs in the upcoming version (hint).
If you need a tool for work, MoI for $295 is a very good deal.
If for hobby use, there's always blender - which I cannot use because the UI completely fracks my brain every time I try it.
