Looks pretty good! I think you pushed the shadows more than the exposure fusion did, and so there’s some more noise there (but probably cleaner than without noise removal). The main “wow” factor of the exposure fusion was that it was non-fussy, and pretty.mich just produced a balanced image with “one click.” Of course I tweaked the sliders just to see what they would do 
, but the default setting was pretty close to perfect!
@Carmelo_DrRaw I really need to try photo flow one of these days. Great results!
