Softimage with Houdini Workflow

So I am a little late to get on the Houdini Bandwagon. Great for FX but wouldn't use it for modelling etc. I am wondering how many are using both Softimage and Houdini? I am wondering what your workflow is. It seems to be a chore to get Houdini VDB files into Softimage. Alembic import keeps crashing XSI. I can bring in ROP FBX but textures dont seem to come in. Its pretty simple in Maya. I would rather use XSI but I can use Maya if I have to. I am just wondering if there is a simpler workflow I am missing. I am fairly new to Houdini but really like the procedural ICE workflow and the presets they have to get started on effects. $:-\$
