Yes, I will play with that somemore.

Yes now that much is set I can afford some overnight renders and try and 
improve the richness with the radiosity.  Thanks for suggesting that.

The sun value is determined by LightSys.  But its *apparent* brightness 
has a lot to do with the sharpness of the shadows.  With no area light 
to area light with a spread of 1% the distance, the shadows look sharp 
and deep and the sun bright.  In this image the spread of the area light 
is 2.5% of the distance to the light.  At 10% the distance this image 
looks quite dull like it is a cloudy day.
