V-Ray vs. Arnold Particle Render Benchmark

Vehicle I just worked on

Vehicle is all CG and the backplate is photography.

Here is a variant.

Arnold vs. V-Ray (significant difference)

The Arnold render took 1min 41 secs and V-Ray 11min 38sec. Also note: I am a lighting TD and have been working with V-Ray for over 3 years in production. I have V-Ray in the DMC workflow using QMC GI with 3 bounces and 8 subdivs (default). Arnold is also at 3 diffuse bounces.
