I've just come across this thread and having read it, it strikes me that most of the arguments have been around the performance of converted cameras. I think it's important to recognise that the OP's camera is not converted but has two filters setting the overall wavelength response.

Quite so.  I've reached the conclusion that an unconverted camera simply can't produce the kinds of results we're seeing in this thread's excellent pictures.  Lew kindly provided a practical demonstration.  Behind the scenes, we swapped Raw files.  He couldn't wring good results from mine, while I readily achieved satisfying results from his, shot with a converted camera.  Unless i'm still missing something, I'm thinking it's time to save a few bucks, pick up a cheap camera and go for the conversion.
