I've been using Spaceclaim for about 5 years (I think) now. It's super fast to model, we also use Solidworks, and it's the shiz to be able to go back and forth between the two.
Keyshot works OK, the oddest thing about it is that it pegs all 4 cores of my i7 machine to 100% when it's running. I emailed Keyshot support but they said not to worry! Yeah, right. I wouldn't worry if I had a water cooled cpu, but with my stock fan that thing gets hot quick. I think that's the only drawback on Keyshot. Other than that, it renders well enough for our needs.
One trick I had to figure out is that if you want different finishes on things in Keyshot, you have to specify different materials in Spaceclaim. It is "smart" in the sense all 6061 components get the finish you select, all 1018 gets that finish, etc...
Been a long time since SpaceClaim had a major update. 2012+ has been out over a year. It's almost 2014!!
There have been some updates to 2012, but I agree it's been a while for a major one.
I have 2 friends who work there. There is an all new release coming soon.
