No, it's the same these days. Max 8 and Viz 2006 both deal with Revit 
models the same, there's no difference. In the past, Viz understood 
Revit models, and Max didn't, but with the latest releases of both they 
now are on the same page.

Oh, totally.  Just saying that I'm not surprised about hitting a limit 
re: number of faces, for it's something that happens in other contexts 
when dealing with exported Revit models. That's all.
