A99 vs RX1 in RAW

Simple question: When adjusting in Lightroom, why not try to make them look good? Using sharpening, which accentuates the noise in a grainy image, instead of noise reduction -- why would you do that?

If you're not going to at least try to make them look good when you use Lightroom, then you'd be better off just shooting JPEG with default noise reduction and posting that.
