Looking forward to the release, definitely seems like you have worked hard on it though.
I've got to ask though, the dynamic lighting does seem to be having a real split reaction here in the comments, which I'm sure isn't what you wanted, Personally just based on the sample images I prefer the old style, although I will give the updated CG's a fair evaluation when the update drops.
Considering the current state of the comments, if the official release goes on to get a similiarly mixed response, what would be the chances that you would go back to the old style?
