I frankly can't se the big difference between your setup and area 
lights :) Try using a 2x2 area light (4 lights) perhaps?
You can soften the outer shadow like A.D.B. mentioned, but the shadows 
under the chairs you must use several lights, either like you do it 
now, or with area lights. Or, come to think of it, you can use focal 
blur too :)

The image looks great btw! May i suggest making the light cone a little 
larger at the top? Right now it looks like the light comes from a very 
small source.
