Default maya or lightwave?

ive used these programs for awhile but cant get too good with them. ive used alot of 3D CAD stuff (pro desktop, pro engineer, AutoCAD, inventor, etc. etc.). I was just wondering which one is better. i figured they would be easy to learn because i picked up all other 3d sofware really fast, but i cant seem to get the hang of maya and lightwave. which one is better, easier, and has more resources so i can pick this up faster.

Lightwave. And I'm not just saying that 'cause this is 'SimplyLightwave.com'. I've tried 'em all, but Lightwave is the easiest and the best. And by easiest I don't mean 'dumbed down', it's just highly intuitive.

Also, it's worth noting that Lightwave is about the most used package in Japan...and if there's one culture in the domain of humankind that knows the most about animation as a medium, I think we can all agree that's it.

both are easy to learn, just depends how much time you are willing to spend learning them.
