What do you mean "are not on par"? Can you tell it in a more specific way?
As I can see, it supports radiosity (mental ray does not).
I heard couple of times it is more good in visual effects than XSI.

And I'm really shocked to know "Invader Zvim" was made in LW. Houdini and XSI also were used in faking traditional animation, but Side Effects says "Steamboy" is only 25% 3D, and XSI in "Appleseed" 2004 and even in "Apleseed Ex Machina" still not achieve THE level of imitation. And even the director of "Tekkon", a person who used to work in Softimage, furthermore - worked on toon shaders, decided to draw the characters by hands (and to use XSI for environment). And if LW was used for rendering in "Zvim", it's amazing - it looks like traditional animation. Can you tell something about that, or ask your friends in Newtek?
