I'm curious, are you using RAW or OOC JPEGs? Which noise reduction SW do you use?

These are RAW with no noise reduction and the exposure boosted to see how the cameras handle the shadows. Editing wise I normally use Photoshop Elements (fine for what I do) however I need to update due to needing GX8 compatibility. So I'm trying out Lightroom at the moment, however it is a complete dog when you are opening folders and RAW files off a file server. Ridiculously slow. And I hate the Creative Cloud pay per month model.

I have noticed that for high ISO images, the noise reduction in OOC JPEGs  in some cameras is hard to beat in PP, might be worth a look.

For noise reduction and raw conversion, you might want to have a look at the DXO SW. Its on sale until Dec 25th, and is reputed to have really good noise reduction, and pretty good RAW conversion. YMMV. There is atrial.  And it can work as a plugin to Lightroom, I understand.
