Thanks for the time and effort to post, always interesting to see post-processing tools comparisons.

I agree with your assessments, DxO seems to have the edge handing noise but otherwise the images are very close. I've found fine-tuning noise vs. grain using PL5 to be great --- you can take shots at high ISOs and adjust the 'grain' and detail using the Deep Prime luminance slider, to get a very clean look which looks like it was shot at a normal ISO.

I have not used Lightroom, but know a lot of folks locally that do, it's an extremely competent and mature tool which should do as well if not better than DxO for images (besides noise).

Thanks, I should add that I only have DXO PureRaw (latest version), so I imported into LR from DXO PR to match slider adjustments before posting (no additional sharpening).
