I have both and for me the power retouche is miles and miles better.
The miranda plug-in just destroys anything with red in it, even in 16
bit. Th epower retouche also has settings to mimic diferent films and
paper grades. The main diference however is the quality of the output.
I also have the silver-oxide (?) plug, which is also not as good as the
power retouche. All of this of course, just one persons opinion and
experience, but I think that is what you are asking for.
