Yup, that's what I use too. It's a really quick way to experiment with
the settings.

With the ground fog, just remember that you need to flip it upside
down. In LDraw (and L3P), the Y axis points downwards, which means the
ground fog becomes ceiling fog by default in POV-Ray. This had me very
confused for some time when I did a foggy scene.

One nice thing with conical light sources is that rendering the scene is
much quicker when you use atmosphere or anything else that looks like
fog to interact with the light. Conical light sources means that
POV-Ray only has to integrate over the cones, not over the whole scene.
As far as I remember, anyway.
