Luka and Edward ... Thank you
Luka, yes the Leica rendering does grow on you and does become addictive
Very good comparison tests! Each camera excels in certain areas.
Recent testing I have tried ACR in CS5 and found the NR has worked brilliantly with very high ISO shots even around 2500. There are some shots from the past I had written off, as being too underexposed and high ISO. With C1 Pro, the NR does work very differently, allowing the sharpness of the image to be maintained, but does not work as well as CS5 ACR NR IMO. I find if I export the files to CS5 from C1 Pro in 16 bit TIFF, with initial NR, and use Noiseware Professional, this gives even better results. Again, this will depend on the subject matter and whether is low or high frequency noise. I also have Topaz Denoise, but I have not had as much success with NR on the M9 files.
Palexy, I have tried Noise Ninja Pro, and I find it does not work well with the M9 DNG files. I may have see if I can load some profiles that may work better. Noise Ninja with the 5DII files worked very well, and was my pick for NR.
