Yes. And since there is non-saturated texture within the highlight
areas, it looks pretty good. Especially for on-screen display. For a
fine print, I might have to work a little bit to preserve more nuance
there.

Agreed. These look quite dismal to me. While the texture is maintained
throughout the highlight areas, the highlight areas are so depressed
that it has no life left in it. It's kinda like when somebody won't
let chrome highlights clip.
