In a nutshell... Modo has a great renderer and Allen Hastings is the heart and soul of Luxology. That said it's not a great heavy lifter , it doesn't handle large and complex scenes well and lacks a lot of the refining/optimization tools that it should have at this point.
I tried to use it in production but it was difficult and not enjoyable when time was of the essence and predictability and stability mattered. As an asset creation and lookdev tool it is brilliant and flexible, just not in midsize to large pipelines. It's a shame because the tech does so many other things well but is being hampered by the tools surrounding it. Maybe the Foundry will have a positive influence in this area, I hope so because there a lot of great things about Modo and its renderer but it hasn't yet realized its full potential. Let's see how 7 turns out.
