With all due respect to you and with deference to whoever put up this link, I would be extremely sceptical of ANY WEB BASED COMPARISONS of various raw image conversions. Unless whoever creates these web pages also provides links to raw files and the exact steps used to create the comparison so additional tests can be run to either validate or disprove the results, these comparisons are worthless. The fact that anybody can post anything on the web and be considered a "publisher" does NOT mean that the people who do so are following any sort of journalistic or scientific principles. I'm not saying anything other than don't suspend your own judgement just because somebody puts up a "comparison". As far as Mr. Lashier's tests, I've duplicated his tests and found his methods were faulty and his conclusions incorrect. He then made some modifications to his web site to correct his methodology but his conclusions are still suspect.
