"I'm considering it myself. Not because the final renders take so long (though my patience does not extend to a render that takes longer than 8 hours), but because in the course of any given project, I may do a couple of hundred test renders. Most are at draft quality and small resolution, but if they feature multiple reflective surfaces and transparencies they still often take 10 minutes or more. This gets old very quickly.

So I'm at the stage of wondering whether I want to spend money on a faster renderer"

Hi here is a live realtime screen recording of a full Global illumination render  with Maxon C4D R11  ** >KOJI**

just under 4 minutes
Hardware:
relatively ancient 2.16 GHZ Macbook with 2 gig of RAM

Also be aware that Cinema DOES NOT SUPPORT any NODE BASED Materials from Poser there are NO workarounds!!!!.

Be prepared to say goodbye to any of bagginsbills shaders or S.G.'s "EZskin "Shader
and use only  image based textured poser content.

Also there is NO native support for the PZ3 poser scene format
so on top of $1700 USD to get the minimum version of C4D with GI/IDL ( Prime)

You will have to get the very well done
INTERPOSER PRO PLUGIN $75 USD

or the  interposer LTD to import your figure with texture intact if you only need stills
as most poser user tend to do exclusively
