Interesting. So there's no gain on the imager and it's all just a matter of underexposure and multiplication during the development stage.

There is gain in terms of better IQ. I'm puzzled why people obsess about DR. For the most pleasing photos, people have reduced the DR in post anyway.

Here is a photo I took years ago. In this I reduced the DR in post quite a bit to obtain something more pleasing: https://www.flickr.com/photos/prebenr/6284631384/in/album-72157627678060149/

Not saying it is a goo picture, but if one wants to have an indefinite DR then things starts to look like snapshots.

In that case then the ISO 50 with -1 compensation should be identical to ISO 100's normal exposure. Correct? Fairly easy to test.

No.

Are the Quattro's ISO-less as well?

No.
