I bought a Miltassia Charles M. Fitch ‘Izumi’ a few months ago in bloom as well. Here's my pictures when it was in bloom. Here's the information I got hen I researched the plant. It is a cross between Brassia verrucosa and Miltonia spectabilis. You are correct that you should treat it similar to a Cattleya (light should be around 2000 to 4000 foot candles). Leaves should be bright green. Reddish green means too much light and dark green means not enough light. The Brassia is from Brazil and likes warmer temps. I plan on putting mine out on my covered patio (faces southeast) as soon as the lows are around 55 to 60 (should be only a few weeks away here). As with most orchids, I read they like pretty high humidity (55%-75%)and good air movement (I use fans even in my covered patio). Ideal teamps are 75-85 highs during the day and 55-65 lows during the night. Of course, these can be grow inside on a windowsill. These should be pretty easy to grow. Bloom time is late fall to early winter. Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not overwater. Flowers are good for cutting.
