Good points. However, this little project is more ambitious that it may seem at first.
The skills with a particular converter and subsequent software for finishing post-processing vary from one person to another.
So a final veredict on a raw converter and other software combo will be relative to those skills.
We may leave this for the conclusion of the exercise.

The same applies to your second point because it could be tainted by preset settings.

I am convinced that Nikon had the best RAW converter for us, Nikon users, thanks to their association with Nik Software. After the relationship broke down, this is not longer true, leaving Adobe Lightroom to become now one of the most popular ones and -because of continuous use and practice with it and price- it has a darn good reputation amongst amateurs. Professionals use other tools.
I am hoping some of them will jump in and show them to us.

I will post a case image for starters in the morning, one without much or any problems, to warm up in the exercise. Just need time to search for it.

Have a great time! 😉
