Kirk,

That looks nice! It definitely has an aged appearance :) Is the object 
CSG? I'm guessing it is, since you averaged object patterns together to 
get the proximity effect. This would look even better in a complete scene ;)

I have an array of 251 points set in a regular spherical/cubic fashion 
that I use for this very purpose. It effectively distributes the object 
pattern in 3D space, thus reducing any inefficiencies arising from 
complete randomization. A little randomization, though, helps avoid 
other artifacts associated with such a regular pattern. Attached is a 
pic showing how the elements are placed.
