Simple solution really, keep SI as your 3d swiss knife andd that is it. There isn;t a single software that brought anything that huge on the table that replaces what you already have in Si. Everything that was possible to create before with SI and today with any other program is still doable. So honestly if you are freelancer and working alone or need it for your needs, you really don;t need to take up on anything else. WIl just end up missing ton of tools, and wasting ton of time. If you are looking be hired as part of pipeline for others then sure could use another tool but for your own use.. just add Redshift to rendering and you are done. ᐧ
