Hi, from that test I cannot distinguish which one has the better resolution. To my opinion all of them are losing real resolution at the middle of the graphs. The bottom part is faked on the most ones. Real resolution would mean: Seeing 9 lines.

When you shoot natural subjects (not optical targets), the moire is seldom a problem, while lower resolution is always visible. I believe you answered the question about the *ist D performance.
