I think it's not that simple, radiosity does not only compute the
influence of diffuse light from sky but also the radiative interaction of
all objects of the scene, something that gets totally lost with shadowless
lights.

Your rad settings seem to use default error_bound of 1.8 which is fairly
high, lowering it could help to bring more structure in the shadowed parts
of the scene.

And of course the finishes probably need to be adapted to the different
illumination for optimal results.

NTL it's nice to finally see this scene with radiosity.
