Wow a huge effort and super long exposure. As Mike said this must be some sort of a record. Even Rob Gendler probably didn't do one that long.
It is missing the Ha though. You get a very bright Ha image very quickly as this is mostly an Ha object. The stars around the nebula look oversharpened so perhaps you sharpened the neb areas (nebs don't really require much sharpening being a rather vague object). On the other hand Ha added to the Rosette makes it a heavily red image which is not that great to view so LRGB is a nice touch. Nicer, more subtle colours.
As you mentioned star colours could be more saturated but they are coloured which is good.
Overall a fine image and no doubt you will learn more about how to extract the best image out of this setup as you go along.
With that many files processing must have taken quite some time as well.
I personally don't mind the diffraction spikes but they can be unpopular.
Greg.
