The problem right now is that most teams use 3ds max:
1. Because it is given to them.
2. Because of the past competitions.

I myself have only used 3ds max. We've become very efficient and know the software very well. Switching would mean getting used to a new product (though I don't know how different Maya is to work with afterall). Maya is the more complex system. Then again, most of the teams would start out on a level playing field again. This could get interesting.
