I used to feel the same way about my unmodded DSLR. Currently I'm reprocessing my LMC capture from last year and while it's not an object as dim as the Rosette, I too am having similar issues to you. Noise from a hot sensor and washed out subs with crazy gradients from LP. However, now I just see it as a developmental challenge which hopefully will improve my processing workflow. There's no doubt that a cooled camera will produce better results, but you've done pretty well here to get where you have with what you have.
