  It's a matter of preference. There is no difference. The only thing I can think of is if your system specs are low then it may lag a bit.

  Sometimes, you need to load the scene (surroundings) first, because it's saved as a scene file and will delete your characters on loading it.

  Otherwise, it's as Frank said, a matter of preference.

  It also depends on the complexity of you scene. Figures will slow down you test renders. There's a couple of working tricks to speed things up: 1) create and clothe your character first, then save that as a scene sunset. This can also include pose and expressions. Load the character subsets into you completed scene. 2) put each character in his/her own group. You can hide the group with one click, so character, clothes and hair are all hidden at once. 3) organize your scene by putting sections into groups. You can hide unecessary items while you are working on characters interacting with each other or the environment.

  What is a "scene sunset"?  Did you mean "subset" or are you fond of a partiular time of day?

  Boy do I hate when my smart phone auto corrects my text... which it just did again. It wrote 'nor' instead of 'boy'. But now that you mention it, sunsets are very nice.
