If you have reflections or refraction, POV-Ray will render correctly. Post processing
just can't 
take those cases into acount. What apears in the reflection will be blured acording to
the position 
of the reflective surface, NOT the full path as it must be. If you have a lense like
object, post 
processing will again give you the wrong result.
DoF in POV-Ray is acurate, and real acuracy takes more time.
DoF by post processing is only faked: fast, cheap and unacurate.
