This one is fine for pre Max9, since Max9 (more specifically max2008 and later) this workflow has changed alot

Good point. I used this one prior to going to V-Ray.

 

I wonder if any of the tuts that ship with Max have an FG only lighting approach?

They run through both methods. mr went through a big change in Max9 and again in max 2009. Things are much easier now.
