agree that it's well worth, but even using provided OctaneVR version is pretty useful, personally standalone fit me even better, 'cos I can model in chosen app & render in the background with StandAlone, without even noticeing (if You have separate GPU for that You will not feel a thing).
The disatvantage is that You have to export from Max, & import to Standalone, but the advange overweights..-let's say if Max crashes in modeling on tweaking something, Your rendering is still going. For some who like to mess with max, that migh be better choise.
pluss that cloud thing. You might want to have clean ready to rende .ORBX file to push it out & do the calculation if You have too little of GPU power in Your rig. I don't know what's the case with 3ds max (as I haven't touce it in a while), but at least in C4D it seems Guys can't export cameras out..
As You see there are some benefits keeping things in Standalone =) especialy for stills..
