There are a few people that are having some issues but they seem to be the minority. If you got the cash, I would buy it while it is cheap since Worley has stated it is going to be updated quite a bit yet. Even if the rendering was complete crap you still have the benefit of real time setup. I did a scene with 74 lights that took minutes vs hours to light and texture. Personally I haven't had a problem yet. Dual processors might be a source of some problems. Worley has FPrime running exactly the same on LW 7.5 and 8. Also, both Newtek and Worley have publicly announced they plan to work together after LW8 ships to allow FPrime to move to the next level.
*edit* (I rephrased this so it is not taken incorrectly.) I just got an email from Steve and he he says they have a lot of control over the noise from area lights and is not worried about being able to improve the quality.
