Hi Ted, was your Custom WB for the FS image taken off a Grey (18%) card? It's interesting to see the differences between the SD15 and Merrill rendering*: Custom WB but the colour mode and tone curve are both designed for natural light; I've presumed that you've used Standard here (gulp, assumptions... ). Would you be willing to share your Custom WB matrix?

It's a very different palette to that of Merrill − unless you've tweaked the colours in post in which case disregard my ramblings

*judging from my own experiences with Merrill.

Sorry, Tom, wrong assumptions.

WB was in Auto because I worked on RawDigger's RGB output:

You can see the original X3F settings here:

Yes, I did lots of extreme post-processing resulting the posted FS image.

HTH

Doh, there goes those assumptions again!

Yeah that matches Merrill with a RAW composite − UFRaw gives you the same starting point, but within a RAW editor, just in case it's useful to you.

And yeah, Auto WB and FS don't mix; making another dangerous assumption that you weren't looking at the world through rose tinted glasses? 

P.S. why not a Custom WB? Just out of curiosity.
