Agreed; all the third party RAW converter developers have claimed superior results as the key justification for their products. And as you say, for difficult images, that's the way things often got done. What's interesting here is that the default tool, the one built into the most common cataloging tool, may well do the trick for even the difficult images. That would simplify my life, and those of many other photographers, I suspect.
