I agree with Graeme in part - my processing hasn't revealed any more detail that wasn't in John's original. It's mostly what comes down to personal preference and how you like an image to look.
If you look at every feature, it's in all 3 versions. Heavy contrast adjustments might make it stand out a bit more, but at the sacrifice of a more natural, pleasing look (at least, to my preference). From my understanding, even the smallest features are able to accurately measured by the ALPO guys even without heavy contrast adjustments.
So I'd say that it's not really "aesthetic vs scientific" either - the same features are evident and can be measured.
It all comes down to smoothness, colour balance and personal preference. Like John said, we all have a "style".
