Vray vs Podium - Skecthup rendering plugin

I Think Sir Nomer is knowlegeable about these two plugins for Sketchup. I came to bump upon one of sir Nomer's works in Podium website's gallery.
Would anyone be kind enough to give a head to head comparison between these two plugins or if there are any plugin for SU that comes close or overtakes Vray.

quick snap comparison...

yung podium para sa newbie talaga.. madaling malearn within a day pwede ka nag magrender...yung podium forum sa www.suplugin.com maganda ang suporta at user friendly sila. mapa bago mapaluma. welcome nila. yung bagong Podium2 ayos para sa akin they introduce soft shadow ng sun at soft shadow ng omni lighting. yung isa pa pala ay pwedeng maging mabilis ang pagrender mo lalo na sa exterior. ang panghuli kung ano yung texture mo sa sketchup yun ang view na maasahan mo sa rendering. so pagmanipulate ng texture lahat ay sa sketchup. panghuli mura sya. lalo na sa estudyante.

ANg problema kapag advance user kana ay may limitation. Yun naman ang ibibigay ng vray sa iyu. Kapag baguhan ka sa vray naman nakakaoverwhelm dahil sa dami ng mga rolouts, mahirap sa newbie lalo na sa mga bagong salta sa larangan ng visualization..mraming mga setting sa vray na minsan maliit na increment lang ang laki pala ng epekto sa scene. pero minsan lalo na kapag gamit mo sun... pagkadami ng increment mo sa light parang walang epekto..

so para sa akin kung baguhan ka.. siguro magstart ka muna ng podium..improved your skill either in rendering, lighting,
texturing and finally the most important thing composition. i assure you you could actually have excellent images in using podium...

one last note.. yung podium V2 alam ko yung quality nya grabe narin... unfortunately i dont have time to try it that much...

sa kabilang banca..its not about the car... its about the driver. minsan kahit may ferrari ka. hinid mo naman kayang i harness sya.. wla rin..

Salamat sir for your time in answering my query. I really appreciate.

Tama nga sir, nag-visit ako sa Podium forum at nakita ko sa video tutorials nila kung gaano kasimplified yung workflow.
I agree, amazing nga din ang output ng Podium considering yung simplicity nya. What more, it's way way cheaper than Vray.
At this point po ay nagstart na akong mag-aral ng Vray using the trial versions and considering pursuing it.

I was so inspired by your dedication in educating budding 3d artist who were amazed by SU and Vray.

Thank you sir Nomer!

sige bro.. keep on going...
