I've tried this one a number of times, but it just does not compare in

But this may all be mute, if in fact that 7.0.4 does not do a
multi-pass. I have not tried it yet, but I have a sneaky feeling that
the quality will drop with the single pass. Which means getting back
to 7.0.3 somehow.
Thanks Steve, you always come through...
