Received the Daz newsletter that mentioned Luxus.  Viewed some of the pics in the discusssion thread and they really don't look much better than what I can achieve using the default 3Delight and good lighting (even in 3.1 with LDP2). Comparing Reality/Lux and Luxus renders posted in the thread, the Reality/Lux ones just look better even in the hands of those still new to using it. 

The render times may be quicker, but I feel that the tradeoff will be quality (as it was with the Render Throttle plugin which had difficulty interpreting detailed textures and transmapped hair). In a way I cannot help but feel it does not use LuxRender to it's fullest. 

Yeah they may have the jump on a bridge between Lux for 4.5 for now but I beleive Reality 3 will blow it out of the water.

Reality 2.5 works just fine with 4.5

...I didn't know that.  Thought I had to wait for Reality 3.

 

Thanks.
