I certainly agree combining different methods has the best chance to achieve superior results. In fact my current version of "super resolution" now uses multiple other filters to enhance the results further. One of the great things about your algorithm is that it is able to greatly enhance SD material by using custom build methodologies. I think this is very important, because I believe there's a limit to what sharpening and denoising alone can achieve. Your upscales of the LD are a good example. The enhancement is astonishing, and I'm very sure you could not have gotten that far with sharpening and denoising alone.
