Could we see some examples of SL scenes using the two models, because there have been a number of changes to the SL renderer over the years... and the main effect of increasing the "realism" of the renderer has been to throw the deficiencies of the SL avatar mesh into sharp relief. The current specular model was a deliberate compromise.
