Ed,
Will you be posting a review on the latest release of XSI 4.2 Foundation, Essentials and Advanced? Besides the new features and a comparison of XSI 4.2 vs Maya 6.0 it would be nice to find out if the latest version supports screen resolutions smaller than 1280
I don't know if I have time for a review of 4.2.
Here a is a nice bullet list of some of the new features:

and here is a link to the "what's new in XSI 4.2" pdf:

and a list of the bugs that were fixed:

i think maya is a little more complicated then Sofdtimage|XsI. I like Softimage|XsI more than maya, especial because with Softimagwe|XsI u get better pdf documentation then Maya. But I think rendering graphics and dynamics (particels, etc) is more realistic in Maya. I wasn't really comparing this what I'm saying but it might be cause I didn't pick mental ray.
I'm not very good with XsI but i'm planing to learn it at the summer...
And XsI 4.2 is better than Maya 'cause u will get Behavior 2 with Softimage|XsI CD. It is great program, unlike Maya where u have to buy crowd simulation software beside Maya and pay for it a lot. And after all i think Behavior will give u better results...
