The results are in.  I finished rendering one of their demo reel animations, using Phoul's settings.  But before I post the results, I need to ask E-onsoftware a question.

So, I've gone to their web site and posted the question.  Hopefully they'll answer shortly.

Side note:  but the 16 second animation took two newer PC's thirteen hours to render.  Not too bad.  I can see where even a five machine render-cow farm would cut the time down considerably.  Also, render cow works for me without a hitch.  So nice going there.
