Choosing the right tool for environmental (and level) design is certainly important. It can save you a lot of time and help you achieve even better scenes. There may be other tools out there that might be better (perhaps Blender), but this is strictly a game engine comparison between Unreal Engine and UNIGINE, which, in my opinion, are the best easily-available engines for this task!
