V-Ray could be the best but this is not an urgent feature to be implemented, I need to have documentation tools sorted and then we can play with all those render fiddly bits. And by the time the doc tool will get sorted we will have V-Ray2020 or so...
I have voted 'average' but I should have 'not needed' as it is really a bit over the top at the moment.
In my opinion LW will do the job (with some improvements) I am just not willing to sacrifice one AC licence for just rendering, that licence can earn more as a documentation tool that's for sure.
LW is good enough for architectural illustration (and that is up to your personal taste what you're trying achieve) and if you are after a professional photomontage get the professional service or software (it is much much cheaper in short and long runs)
AC is just too expensive tool for fiddling...

V-ray is an essential crative tool for a good contemporary architect - it simulates light in such a way that it gives you profound feedback about your design.

It has allways been an architects privilege to present his ideas himself, not hiring a "painter".

From the productivity point of view, it is very important to have the best possible visualization - this persuades the client, this wins architectural competitions etcwell, the visualisation is a part of this process but certainly not a must have feature. All my clients I have ever dealt with were pretty much ok with sketches, managed budget, design and transparency in a job handling (clients ranging from big developers developing hectares of land to a couple with kids asking for their new family house). If you cannot explain and prove your concept without jumping into viz you are asking for troubles later on.
