Quote - EDIT: I'm implementing the "The Secret of Velvety Skin" BRDF (paper linked above) in lux just to see how it looks and if its worth having

is this a joke or what?
SSS is great for bars of soap, candle wax, plastic toys. But for human skin, marble, ruby, even granite there is no way for SSS to achieve realism. That's where BSSRDF comes in. Lux and others have the material and lighting thing down. It's what people are hoping to achieve with Lux and the other renderers is where things begin to fall apart.
