IMO - yep, the noise doesn't add anything for me.

Somebody in vegas??

IMO I would take noise away from almost every picture. Low saturatin tends to get away with it well but your pick is igh saturation

Wonder how it would look b/w?

Maybe the chrominance noise.

I quite like noise in my shots. But pretty much only when they are BW.
Just now I'm processing a batch of concert shots taken at ISO 1600. The noise actually looks good in BW.

Better? I think so...left edge work to cleanup.

I really hate the way noise reduced images look. There's less detail and less contrast in areas. If you could apply i to specific areas it would be better than to the whole image.

Point well taken...selective editing. Saves on the cleanup around the horses!

Noise reduction is like most photoshop filters - it needs to be used in a subtle way and with skill. Most noise reduction can be applied just to solid areas and avoiding edges, for example, with the use of an edge mask.

Also, some of the better packages let you mask the areas to be affected in the filter.

Good noise reduction shouldn't even be noticeable, though it is often applied with a heavy hand, particularly to people for some reason.
