Longer, but worth it. Keep the simplified gersion for tests, and this 
for your final render.

You can also use radiosity here. Replace your tubes with emissive tubes, 
use importance.

radiosity{samples 20000 [other radiosity items] }

default{radiosity{importance 75/20000}}
Most things will get only about 75 radiosity samples...

The neon tubes have:
radiosity{importance 1}
...but the tubes will get full sampling.

There are cases where radiosity is faster than regulat lighting.
