I'm going to have to disagree with that 'virtually the same as a redshift experience' statement - just reading the maya plugin support forum on otoy has been enough to keep me away from using it in production, as it was clear that the plugin developer had way too many hats to wear (ie several plugins), was slow to update to the most recent versions and didn't respond to forum posts at all. The redshift experience is a polar opposite, bugs are squished almost the same day, and they always respond to posts, even when its a good chance of being user error.
That said I realise that otoy are trying to do something about that situation, and will keep an eye on the progress of 3.0/3.1 as and when its released.
