Hello, Im new here great site!

Here is my situation. I'm just learning 3d animation, but fast. i love it and am spending a lot of time with it. i originally wanted to start using maya but we had a foundation course on 3d studio max and have gotten quite comfortable with it. i tried maya since and have gotten frustrated becuase, i cant find stuff. i would have to leap another learning curve. i saw some stuff maya can do and it looks great. maya is also a mac program too, which i prefer over pc. my question to you guys is.... should i switch to maya and if so what are the advantages over 3d max? and, is maya difficult to learn??

thanks for all your help guys!
