I agree, I've just started to play with it, but it's a fabulous release. The speed is amazing even on modest hardware. Attached image shows what you can get in mere seconds on the GPU, though I'll qualify that with it's dependent on the scene of course. This particular model is not mine but donated generously on the blender forums, though I can't remember by whom. The CPU is a Intel Q9505 quad core the GPU is a Gtx 460. Though it's not a MoI model, Thea and MoI play very well together.
