I don't think it's clear at all that Firefly can do quality and realism "just as well as Lux"

 

From what I have seen so far, both from test and see in other renders, Luxrender can produce renders that would be difficult to dupicate in Firefly, if not impossible.  If you are a real wizz with Poser materials and streach Firefly to the limits it can produce some very real looking renders.  One of the differences with Luxrender is its use of 'Real Lights' which adds to the realism.  What Luxrender cannot compete with is the speed of Firefly, at least not for most renders, although I am surprised that they are not as long as I expected they would be.  It also has a lot of features that do not exist in Firefly.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
