Please remember that they are also faster at rendering than POV. POV is pure
trayracing, but these guys only put it in where it is necesary (reflective,
refractive surfaces). The expensive packages are better than POV, but what
can one expect for $2500+? I mean, if ain't good at that price, then they're
totally ripping you off. For me, POV is good enough (so far...). And you
can't beat this price, can you?
