Wings3D is free as is the trial version of Bryce, but still you have to export your models and import them into Blender.
Don't worry about how long it takes to learn Blender, it took me 6 months, and look at my shell (119), and I am still learning more intrinsicies of the interface.
So even with 6 months, and comfortable with basic scaling, rotation, duplication, and vertex editing, along with basic lighting and textures, Blender has so much more to it.
Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
