Lumerical Microlens Simulator

I've just noticed that Canadian company Lumerical offers an optical microlens FDTD simulator. It seems to be in use by ST, looking on a footnote. Breault Research has 3um pixel microlens simple simulation examples using Lumerical FDTD. They also published a paper about it.

There is a competing FDTD simulator by OptiWave, incidentally also Canadian company. Stanford students use it for pixel simulations, as described in the paper.

Anybody can share an opinion on these simulators, good or bad? How they compare with TOCCATA by Link Research or Sentaurus by Synopsys?
