Have been anxiously awaiting Silver Efex Pro 2 (SEP2). Got it last night, and it was causing Aperture crashes. I finally fixed that by de- and re-installing. Have been playing with it for an hour or so. I feel it is much slower than version 1.0, but it has some exciting features. Hopefully they'll improve the performance over time.
One other bug I've noticed is that my keywords get all screwed up for images coming back from SEP2. So, keep that in mind (would be curious if others see this phenomenon) Not sure if that's Aperture's fault, or SEP2 (I suspect Aperture).
A couple of samples, just for fun:
Leica V-LUX 1 (lots of flare, and dusty filter, but I still like it):
Contax RX, with Ektar 100 (I'm not a fan of selective colorization, but I had to try it ):
