although i have reviewed this discussion here http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=21&t=359594&page=1&highlight=mentalray+vray
i still want to get more feed back from experts over here , tried both mental ray and v-ray found that vray has multiple gi solutions and fast producing renderer compared to mr.
i came out with that: mr is much slower even after combining fg and gi to get faster results by 5 times as max help dictates .
my qs is: IS MY CONCLUSION RIGHT? mr is production proven worldwide and i wonder wat would make it much faster and producive, in fact mr has great materials and shader that i dont want to miss working with them, hope so!

With the right amount of experience in both renderers they will both be fast. I use both (as well as renderman), and find them to be fast depending on what I need for a paticular project. You will find alot of black and white statements on the forums about which renderers are faster than others. Most of the time these statements will be driven by the experience in the renderer prefered, and lack of experience in the others.

In my opinion it is more about which one(s) fit YOUR style/workflow/etc. Most have a demo version that you can try out. But beware.... there are alot of "fanboys" out there that will try to convince you that the renderer that they like best IS the best.
