Ok,I bought it and I ran a couple of tests and from a very personal point of vue, I do like it a lot!
I love it's soft lightning and shadows, the way it renders, something I paid a lot for during my photographic days. You'll find the light shader HERE at DAZ.

Here are three test renders with different settings:

Rendersize 600*600
Full (sic!) 3Delight render
Bucketsize 8
Max RayTraceDepth 2
Pixel Samples X/Y 5
Shadowsamples 8

AreaLight settings:
Shadows ON
Intensity (+scale) 100
Area Samples 16
Falloff ON

Rendertime: 4 min 59 secs

same settings but
Area samples 32

Rendertime: 5 min 41 secs

Same settings but
Area samples 128

Rendertime: 10 mins 13 secs

My systems specs:

XP Media Center, SP 3, DirectX 9.0c

DualCore AMD Athlon 64x2 4200+ (2200MHz)

NVIDIA GeForce 7300GS (512 mb)
NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS (512mb)

still only 1 gig of PC3200 DDR SDRAM

double screen display.

So in my opinion, this is one of the best lightshaders you can find, specially when you are looking for a very soft lightning.

And just by the way:

What you see here is the DL UberPointSphere applied to the AreaLight, works with the fall off settings.
