If he was using an HDR environment, there'd be more reflection like that car photo. It's probably not HDR, so the reflections are limited to k * 1, where k is the reflection value.
However, as I said in point #3, the Edge_Blend alone cannot come close to the reflection value versus angle that is found in the true Fresnel effect. It is only directionaly correct, in that there is less facing the camera and more facing away. That's like saying a boob is roughly the same shape as a bucket.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
