The biggest difference between Superfly and Firefly, my opinion, is in FF specular is a hack to avoid using actual raytraced reflections because they are so slow. SF is faster so specular is actual raytraced reflection. No need for a reflect node, reflection is on by default.

Based on this example I tried to duplicate the shader, and ended up with this:

The mesh is a primitive from Lightwave and scaled to about 1cm high in Poser (I set my units to meters). One infinite light and a jpg pano for a sky.
