Choosing Shader Type in Corona

Of the top of my head without being  an expert i found this explanation of shaders.

Basicaly a shader is code... simply as that. A code that interprets how a pixel is supposed to be seen.
Using this reasoning i would argue that a Coronamaterial is no better that a Standard one. BUT... a CoronaMtl is a shader writen by the maker of the engine that renders that shader so i'm assume that are highly optimized to work with Corona, and i could not say the same for a Standard shader even if Corona "supports" it.

Boris, I only have one question... Do you know what all the roll-outs mean on the Corona Mat?
Thanks

Well... you made me open max and see if really i understand what is what in a Corona material. I think i pass the test Except for the last rollout (That nothing has to do with corona) the Mental Ray Connection. I really have no use for that last one. But for the rest i even know the limitations and bugs of some.
