Perhaps have a good go with D5 free and see if it suits you. If the vegetation is important then TM is probably not ideal - at the moment. It does have quixel megascans though.

Chipp's done a great job with his tut's but i'd appreciate seeing more discussions regarding SU <-> Blender - 2.8 will no doubt draw more attention from SU users too.
