I've tried both programs and i'm still not sure if we can compare them.
I mean, P8 use Indirect Lighting, DS3Adv has it too, though i haven't been able to use it because of the looonng render times with IDL in DS.
Butn DS3Adv has GI which does directional shadows. It's a plus as P8 can't.
The render times using GI are more than acceptable, faster than P8 IDL in fact. The 64 bits UI in DS is super stable and very responsive. The last three renders in my gallery are DS3adv renders and you can see DS made a good step beyond realism.
On the other side, i like P8 IDL too. Longer render times, yes, but different results. Also, it's brand new, expect some perfecting in near future.
