Are there any features or capabilities of the FireFly render engine that have not been implemented by SM? I was under the impression that FF was used by Cinema 4D and that that had a bunch more features.

C4D uses its own render engine (Or VRay et. al) not FireFly

Firefly is based on the Reyes architecture, so in theory it could get a whole lot more fancy. But it needs someone to extend Firefly's current shader language; I've no idea who actually owns Firefly but, as the addition of IDL and SSS in recent years indicates, the Poser Dev team certainly have the technical ability to do that.
