I didn´t look into Unity because of the limitations of the basic version
compared to the pricey pro version,
didn´t follow things, so there may have been lot´s of changes on the
unity side.
For Unreal:
I´m currently dabbling with UE4 (4.7)´s rigging tools.
https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Content/Tools/MayaRiggingTool/RigTool_Rigging/index.html
Unfortunately, the way things are with those, you´ll want to use Z-up
and Maya 2014 at 30fps,
I have problems with the scripts and Maya 2015, so I went back to 2014
and try to live with Z-up,
which isn´t fun in Maya and/or going roundtrips between ZBrush/Mudbox/etc.
In an ideal world, *.fbx would help ease the Y-up/Z-up pains but there´s
rough edges instead...
In terms of what´s possible with UE4:

In terms of C## scripting vs. Blueprint (visual) node editing:
There is a lack of advanced weapons & inventory & AI (bot) examples done
in Blueprints only atm, which
means it´s not so easy to actually do a nice FPS.
What´s available is awesome but I´d also wish for a less complicated way
of working with character animations,
behaviour trees, weapon attachments, etc.
It´ll be easier when more people have managed to create full projects
and shared it.
Atm, it´s o.k. to find help or examples but it´s pretty difficult to
learn good project structure and consistent approaches
from the snippets gathered together from all over the web.
But all in all, UE4 is totally cool.

And I was about to start learning some Unity.
Unity users & Unreal users both seem to be happy campers.
Anybody here have any experience with them? Any pros & cons that stick
out?
I don't really want to learn both.
Free + Houdini Engine does seem to give Unreal an edge though. (A
great big fat gleaming edge)

Slightly OT, but holy cow, Unreal Engine 4 is completely free
to use ( 5% royalties upon release of a game ).

I strongly suggest you to take a look at it now that is free,
you won't regret, especially ICE users will find it very
comfortable to use :)
