In testing version 1.131 these are my results.
I have attached 2 screenshots for comparison.
I think the realtime lighting should not look so washed out compared to the prebake.
Is there a setting I am missing? Prebake is left screenshot.
The coffee is lovely dark and deep,and I have code to write before I sleep.

Try this ...
Go into the setup.ini and change this setting

lightmappingsizeentity=512
To
lightmappingsizeentity=2048

Try it again then and check out the difference

It is not the light mapping that is the problem.
The realtime lighting with the new SAO looks terrible compared to the
light mapping it is washed out and the shadows are incorrect.

You can drop the ambience setting, and increase the surface light intensity, and ensure your shadow slider is at 100. You can then create a very dark shadow cast dynamically from the straps on the crates.

Yes that helps a bit but still does not come close to the shadows and ambient occlusion of the prebake.
Something is not right in the shader.

If you would like to modify the shader, and let me know which component of the calculation is causing the issue you see, I would be happy to adapt the shader to your findings. I have found over the work on visuals that getting real-time and pre-bake to match up exactly is pretty much impossible as they use different techniques to arrive at the final shadow colour for terrain and entities.
