I don't know yet what the different levels of Denoise in your labels mean,
but they all seem to have some "clarity" effect.  I like that effect and it
does genuinely seem to sharpen -- and more subtly than FM.  It seems to
emerge from the image in an organic fashion.  It's puzzling because it
seems more significant than any NR in play.  I wouldn't have been looking
for NR based on the quality of the original image.  You say this effect is
mainly evident in low ISO images?  Do you then use Denoise on everything?
If not, why not?

What I have liked about Sharpen AI is that it is still possible to get a
little additional sharpening with FM (usually 1, hardly ever 2).
