CONS: I'm starting to think the NX300 gives up a smidge of sharpness to the previous gen model(s).

I like your review. Regarding above - I must say I have sometimes similar impression. I shot both NX30 and NX300 and occasionally I think low ISO is better on NX20. I have never done any test though so I cannot confirm. certainly noise reduction on high ISO has different patter on these both cameras.

the measurements of the NX200 indicates that they oversharpend the JPEG way more than in the NX20 and NX300 hence he impression is backed up by facts.

Nevertheless oversharpening is artificial and if you really liked the look of the NX200 you need to shoot raw and push the slider in LR

I personally develop my RAW's in LR as well with some oversharping but mainly for edges only

I never shot jpg (ok, once or twice because I wanted to capture panorama). I usually see pictures in faststone.
