Highly detailed image Suavi. Everything looks really sharp and well composed. The inclusion of the other fainter nebulosity helps with the balance I think. I think I prefer the brighter version too, although I think some judicious masking to the main core area would pop the detail there.
Personally, I am not enamoured with the palette but that is dealers choice. Yes, it represents the correct emission lines but I just prefer a different look. I did a similar looking image myself years ago but never really liked it much. I still think this nebula looks best in LHaRGBOIII.
Anyway enough of my ramblings.
