This looks nice. What is it like with ambient occlusion on?
I tend not to use ambient occlusion, global illumination, area shadows works fine for me. But the render took like 25 hours, glass behind glass behind glass etc, thats a lot of refractions, plus the reflection, my computer wasn't happy, so unless its a massive change I won't do another render.
I haven't had a chance to check this out, this might be of some help.

look at his global illumination settings, this will definitely reduce your render time and still give good results.
Thanks Richie, I was actually meant to give some credit to you for this image since your one that won a short while back was my inspiration.
Love this, especially your step 15, really clever shapes you've got!
