Yes, and I was just pointing out that on the one hand truly high rez (whether 50 or 80 no matter) is joined into the same feature/mode with an ordinary rez choice (25) whose only real usefulness could be noise reduction, yet OMD just calls it file size economizing.
That is my real point, that marketing materials are sometimes misguided. Noise reduction is very valuable, yet it goes unmentioned. The 5 extra MP is negligible yet that is what is marketed.
I do agree with all of the above. Since most of my shooting is birds these days, I haven't really used the high rez modes. I have them in "My Menu", though, for when I get jazzed about landscapes. And some of my stuff I wish I had the ability to use HR, just for the noise reduction you mention. Generally the birds don't cooperate much.
