I, for one, disagree that it's unrealistic to compare the end products. 
  Yes, there are differences, but they are measurable.  Optima is 
asking, it seems to me, if given an identical scene and light setup, 
what are the differences between POV-Ray and vray?  What features are 
present in typically-seen vray renders that are perhaps absent in 
POV-Ray renders?

The exact same question is valid to ask one's self as a hobbyist artist 
using traditional media vs the works of professional illustrator who 
also uses traditional media:  'what do they do that the I don't, so that 
I can improve my own skills?'
