You will note that in all of them, when I did "auto tone" in lightroom, it did not adjust the exposure, though the recovery values changed a bit.
So, the K20 does seem to be shooting about 2/3 stop faster than the K100 for about the same level of noise, so my K20 gains me maybe 2/3 stop over the K100 in performance.
