I did perform a few tests but nothing extensive, and i did see slightly more details in the shadows; as for an iso difference comparing the native canon iso of 160 vs the equivalent iso of 160 from magic lantern i didnt see a difference, and if their was one it was very minor. The highlight tone priority is suggested to be used when you use it with a negative magic lantern iso. I have not done any tests using highlight tone priority but i do know a lot of people either loved it or hated it when they used it without magic lanterns iso.
