DP RAW is mainly for large apertures from what I read and results in noisier images. I certainly would not shoot everything on that mode. I already have the 5DsR for hi-res use. 10TB drives are reaching mainstream so storage should not be a huge concern.

The discussion at dpreview seems to imply you would add +1EC and while the main frame will have blown highlights, the auxilliary frame - which is the capture from only half a pixel, will not be clipped and if the RAW converter can do it you could have effectively 1EV more DR and normal noise levels, from the main frame.
Hopefully we will see RAW software that can exploit the full potential of the Dual Pixel RAW file. DPP would be the initial hope but will they extend it\'s capabilities beyond the focus shift, flare reduction, bokeh shift?
One might be able to write a custom converter that could take the highlights, pack them into the regular top values for the 5D4 and then slide the main values down 1 stop and then you could send the converted RAW to any old program and it would open it just like any old 5D4 regular RAW file only now the shadows would suddenly seem to be Nikon clean . Who knows when or if ACR or whatnot got around to doing it, so making a converter might get around such issues.
