The screens look amazing. Great work!
For the discussion about the baked lights:

Interactive Architecture

There was also a big discussion about rendering lights and bake them on geometry.
This project was done in A6 and we just used some simple shaders/scripts to combine the lightmaps with the diffuse textures. There is no need for a plugin to realize such nice looking sceneries. All you need is a serious render-engine

Conitecs engine supports lightmaps, cool, use it.
