It is much difficult to find things but after 30 minutes thing began to gel. NR seems better and the whole things runs about 50% faster on my machine. I am not sure quality is the same but this may be due to different sharpening and NR algorithms applied to the RAW image, implementing in camera settings a different way. Control points are interesting but not the core of operation as we were led to believe.
Initial likes:-
Control points
NR
slight improvement in speed
Initial dislikes:-
No 4 stop graduation on histogram.
No progress bar when converting and opening in PS CS2
Dull grey GUI
I am glad for the 30 day trial as it may take 30 days to decide whether its worth the £120 price.
