lol, if i was making this for a game, i would make it low polygon for sure! I know how to model low polygon, but when im making a scene for teh fun of it, i never worry about polys.
Ive been using blender for about 7 months now, and it is easily the best modeller i have ever encountered, and ive used 3dsmax, lightwave, maya, milkshape, gmax, etc. and it comes up very nicely beside them. I'd say blender is better than 3dmax the most, because it has the same features, but a way quicker work flow.
Oh yeha, and ive made an update to the image
Whattya think?
