I found out it was just more precision problems. If both blob and 
sphere_sweep are scaled up with a factor of ten, they are equally bright.

Yes, I do use absorbing media. I only tested it with interior fading as per 
Alain's suggestion.

I might play around a bit more and try to get the sss to work, but I found 
some nice texture settings that look pretty nice too, so maybe sss won't be 
necessary after all.
