But isn't this Xgrid in fact just a render management app? It lets you split up a render between multiple computers right? Maxwell has it's own system already for this so what would be the benefit of Xgrid?

Xgrind is not very efficient rendering with more as 5 dual cpu's on a single frame.
Speed increase with additional cpu's is not linear.
