I've been following this one with my typical wandering eye. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a reflection map basically maps the image 360 degrees on the inside of a giant sphere around your object which is then reflected off the object. You would have to render a much larger picture of the object or you would lose 50% of your image… Losing myself here… <g>
