Depends if you are OK with doing something else (eg sleeping) while it 
renders.  With mcpov you need virtually zero setup/tweaking time compared to 
using radiosity.

I've been re-rendering a lot of my radiosity scenes with mcpov recently, 
usually I just copy&paste in the mcpov global header code and then let it 
run overnight.  Scenes that caused hours of frustration with artifacts under 
radiostity magically rendered perfectly :-)  It's really really cool, it 
should an option in the standard POV build IMO.
