I don't think any in-camera processing can come close to what can be achieved in conversion and subsequent photoshopping. It just wouldn't have the horsepower. Plus, you'd be at the mercy of the camera's software. No choices.
In contrast to your experience, I have gradually replaced most of the 11 x 14 MF shots in my portfolio with 11 x 17 prints from the *ist D. I've also framed quite a few for both home hanging and gallery shows. I don't want post-processing help from the camera. Just a nice, wide, high resolution starting point.
