i tried with smoother and NR off, but i see artifacts and advantage in sharpness (compared to LR alone) is minimal.

hare a comparison IXT (with your setting) and PureRaw2, look at the text, that's what i call artifacts (the same are present with standard LR conversion)

X-H2S file

The artifacts I was referring to are chunky noise artifacts that I sometimes get at higher ISOs with the X-Trans 4 sensor with "More Detailed" that I don't get with "Smoother" . Using Smoother will require more sharpening in LR (which is fine as my default import settings look good for both the original RAF and the DNG), but as I see absolutely no detail advantage whatsoever when using More Detailed, I now go with Smoother for both my X-Trans III and IV cameras (and will probably with X-Trans V too).

X-Transformer does an inferior job with tiny text compared to DxO with DeepPrime no matter what (good I thing I don't often shoot tiny text), but to my eye it does as well (and sometimes a tad better) with other detail and often with less visible aliasing. I'm in between computers at the moment, but will likely take a closer look into DxO in the near future. In any case, viewed at any reasonable size, they really look very close overall...

X-H2s, my version with Lightroom/IXT (yes, I touched up the moire)
