This is a timely discussion as I'm about to move from a rectangular room to an irregular shaped one with a cathedral ceiling. The new space is easily twice the volume of the existing room. I also have a copy of CARA on order. My feeling is nothing will take the place of experimentation in determining the optimal system layout, but with the complex acoustic challenge of the new space some kind of help is necessary.
The reason I chose CARA was simple. While there are several products available that do rectangular rooms, CARA was the only one in my price range that does odd shapes. Once the dust settles I'll report back as to whether it was worth the $50.
