Any other suggestions? Should I consider Neat Image?

(I use LR2 on a Mac, shoot entirely raw on a D700, and typically convert to dng when downloading images.)
I tried both, and choose NeatImage though with the D700 NC2 does a decent job as well.

NeatImage have profiles for all of my equipment and seem to update them regularly.

To be perfectly honest though - with the D700 I find that I have precious little use for any noise reduction filters anymore.
