I'm not sure how you expect to "marry" POV-Ray and Bryce, considering 
that they don't share the same rendering engine, or even the same 
rendering method (Bryce being mainly a scanline renderer if I'm not 
greatly mistaken), and that they're both using techniques which may not 
realistically model physical phenomena (meaning that they're not 
necessarily even TRYING to achieve the same thing).

With that said, I think my reproduction of your glass sphere 
demonstrates that it's possible (and even easy - most of my time on that 
scene was spent moving objects around) to get very similar results to 
Bryce if you know what you're doing.
