***Hi polygon count is RARELY if EVER justified with muscle topology.***

For high quality renders, high poly-count will always give a better render result than low poly - even for FF.  More polys = more detail for the renderer to work with.  Otherwise you render a dept store plastic dummy.  Real people have real shape, and that takes a lot of polys to describe.

The render above was somewhere around the 500k poly count for his head PLUS a normal map (can't find the scene to give an actual polycount).  More polys = more quality.
