Why the emphaaasis on FWHM versus SNR? I noticed that the new process also has 'noise' but I suppose SNR takes care of that anyway.
I do a noise weighted integration as well and compare the results. The noise weighted result always has better SNR but often not enough that you'd notice after a little processing. Some times the FWHM improvement isn't that great and I just go with the noise weighted integration.

I have also had some success combining the bright parts of the low FWHM integration with the dim parts of the noise weighted integration for a best of both worlds result.
