I started using Arnold recently and the lurning curve is about 8 hours to get amazing results, and then maybe another 8 to actually start messing around with SSS shaders, but its raelly fast and looks amazing, at my last studio we used mental ray and switched to arnold and it was amazing, have had a look at Vray, and for me personally ill be sticking to Arnold, it just got a very strong community and rapid development. :)
