Finally took the plunge and started learning V-ray 2.0, have to say I’m impressed by the minimum learning curve to setup a scene and get a decent render out of it. It also seems pretty fast from my testing with simple geo.
here are some resources I used to get up; to speed.

First Vray render using basic vray area lights and Vray material. Testing with vRay physical camera attributes like f-stops, shutter speed and DOF with a linear EXR workflow. Gotta say Vray gives a much quality render without the steep learning curve of MentalRay…
