Just curious.. Have you tried DXO PureRAW 2? I heard opinions, that final results are even better that from Topaz Denoise?

I use both. For one-stop demosiacing, NR & sharpening for m43, I use PureRaw2 on the DeepPrime setting. Unless there's a ton of noise, I'm ok with it. I do not use it for Fuji. The resulting exposure is inconsistent and often creates work.

For all portrait work and where there's a lot of noise (m43 & Fuji), I use Topaz AI. The results are cleaner (can be much cleaner as there appears to be a limit to what PR2 can clean-up) without sacrificing enough detail to matter to me.

For somewhat noisy Fuji, simply changing the setting on X Transformer is all it takes. Otherwise Topaz.

Shooting Fuji, of the 3 apps above my must have is X Transformer, followed by Topaz AI, shooting Fuji I would not purchase PR2. At least for my 16mp files. Haven't tried it for my X100V files.
