For reflections (water) this can be important as well although you can 
trick quite a lot with reflection exponent.

I think for high resolution renders (which your recent scenes seem very 
suited for) this is probably not a solution anyway.

I am quite near to start my new LOTW-2 but i simply still get quite a

generation of which only 4 get selected this is not such a big problem 
though.
