It's not as pronounced when I disable sslt, and the other finish 
attributes are pretty sparse, so I'm suspecting that lighting and or 
viewing angle might need some minor adjustments ... the role of diffuse 
seems a bit different with/without sslt as well.

Given the timing (purely a coincidence btw) I could see how that might 
be one option, but I think I'll opt for a less secular approach ... I 
mean I get the symbolism of new, rebirth, eggs, chicks and bunnies ... 
how the heck did chocolate worm it's way into the holiday. Bigger 
business in chocolate -vs- eggs I suppose ... bloody capitalists ;-)
