One thing that I miss about using 3delight is my shaders.  I was a complete shader whore for a loooooong time.  I love being able to take ordinary textures and make them look like something completely different.  If you're saying I'll be able to do that with reality 3.. then i vote for you stretching your 14 hr days to 20.  Hell.. you have time to sleep after you're dead.  Then when you're done.. you can take your oodles of cash that all the poser fanatics are going to throw at your feet and escape to Italy again for weeks.
