I have been processing with the fine detail natural look for 3 years now. I don't really like working images too much and looking blocky; which tends to be a popular look. I like if possible to capture the really fine detail and part of that is the wavelets settings I use. I find that using 4,5 and 6 tend toward creating very blotchy looking images. I only ever use wavelets 2 and 3 and for the most part it works for my images. It also gives very fine detail views. Where it falls down is where the seeing is less than satisfactory, which has been a problem here this year. My motto is good data really does not require a lot of working it just needs tweeking.
Inevitably everyone has their own style of processing and most people can pick Bird's, Damian's, Mikes, Pete Lawrence's, Dave Tyler's and even mine (and quite a few others) without knowing that we actually processed it.
I applaud your wanting to process to get nice fine detail. I like the look and that is why I have been doing it for so long.
