Nice job there! I find that it doesn't match the Octane version in terms of quality (not your fault): a) It looks "floaty". That's just the problem with FG. You'd need insane settings to get the flawless contact shadows of an unbiased renderer. People like to combat that by using ambient occlusion, but usually the result looks terrible to me, with dark corners everywhere. b) Sampling noise of a biased renderer looks unnatural (see the reflection on the table at the very left). Unbiased renderers otoh have very organic noise, so often it's fine for there to be some.
I've used Octane many times for still shots and even for animations. Setup times are short, render speed is good and the quality is great. Plenty of features are still missing (such as motion blur), but once the Softimage integration is ready it should become a real option for those who don't like to use an external renderer.
