Here's an image of the RDNA Roman Villa made with the HDRI file that comes with Vue 5. I did this render over a year ago when Vue 5 first came out.

Personally- I think HDRI renders FASTER and often looks BETTER than most other choices. I didn't use any extra lights or atmosphere in this scene- but HDRI-IBL gives you the options of using FILL and KEY lights- as well as mixing in a Vue Atmosphere. Plus of course- you could use Shadow Maps and Reflection Maps with the Key and Fills- so LOTS of choices...
