Dan ... interesting ... thanks for taking the time. One thing that I have noticed is that a person\'s familiarity with a given piece of software is a big indicator of their likely results. Small tweaks can really affect images ... especially in the sharpening area. I would venture to guess that a little RGB sharpening would fundamentally change your DPP result for example (as would a tweak to the WB). In addition, my feeling is that a given converter will tend to work better or worst with a give camera body. So like Adrian said above C1 is very good with the 5DII (I\'ve noticed that myself) ... whereas, it seems a little weak with the 7D right now.
I own these converters and would rank them with my 5DII in this order:
C1
ARC
DPP (this may produce the best conversions, so it is always worth trying on a critical image)
DXO
My 7D is just to new to be correctly supported. I have tended to use them in this order:
ARC
C1
DPP
DXO
The 7D is forcing me to look at DPP in more detail than I have in the past. I can see why some people rave about the conversions ... but, I just can not warm up to the product.
