Is there any drawback to using Maya shaders with Mental Ray ? They just seem easier to implement.

Thanks

If your looking to get better with mental ray I would recommend trying out the mia and mia_x materials. They are very easy to use and are loaded with surface presets

There is also excellent documentation in maya help for this shader
