Default 2/3rds difference between RAW convertors

As per a previous post I am looking for another RAW converter. I already have Bibble Pro and this morning had a revisit. Beforehand I looked in Nikon Capture but it takes so long and I was showing my lady some photos of our Son did not want to wait ages so, I opened Bibble.

Bibble is real fast and performs well but then I noticed the histogram...

I use the histogram to obtain near enough good exposure in camera so 1/3 stop either way is an acceptable adjustment in the digital darkroom but anymore I feel its a poor photograph.

Nikon Capture shows a histogram as I remembered in camera but Bibble showed approx 2/3rds of a stop darker, hence needing more exposure compensation and intern creating more NOISE.

Take a look below at the differences, these are not the actual images taken this morning but were still on the card. Notice there is no exposure compensation applied in both cases. The images are totally unedited.
