Here are my two quick edits. Raws, cropped appropriately then output as 6000px jpegs as you see them, all of this straight from C1. Borders were added in PS.
On image 1, I think my overall color and skin tone is maybe a touch better (you tell me), net resolution appears similar, but maybe a touch less "haloing" along her leg showing in mine.
On image 2, I think your mixed routine did a better job of both upscaling and ISO NR, with better detail.
Edit: I spent maybe a total of 8 minutes on both images. Once adjusted in C1, the jpegs opened in PS in about 5 seconds, where I added the borders and uploaded the full 6K JPEGs to DB to link back here.
