You could try (if you haven't already) using map shadows, instead of
ray, setting the detail to 9 and the sharpness to 1 on each of the
lights you want to cast shadows.  You could also throw in an IBL, with a
fairly low resolution and fuzzyness, for a completely different look.
And, have you tried running a basic radiosity solution?

Anyway, I missed the posts about your picture before... so I hope I'm
not repeating anything already said :)  It looks great, reguardless.
