Quote - I've been using a black (noir) skin to see the reflection better. On indirect inside lighting, I've hacked it (fresnel) down 85% so far. This is of course an approximation. But the results seem waaay better than before.

I appreciate your explanations.

Good idea breaking it down like that, seeing the strengths in isolation. I'm using slightly higher reflection values but then the IDL intensity/diffuse lighting balance is more in a mid range also - that's the compromise (risk a little glow in places).
