JimH:
Did you try animated content with the default RO HQ and RO Std?

I actually did that over the weekend Jim, and had mixed results.  

The ROHQ defaults were definitely not an improvement over my existing settings: they actually looked worse to me, in part because the interlacing defaults to video mode and most deinterlaced animation needs film-style deinterlacing to avoid scanlines.  But even manually switching just the deinterlacing didn't fully resolve my issues.

Interestingly, RO Std actually looked better than either the ROHQ defaults or my normal settings (which is a credit to MC/Hendrik).  But there were definitely still some issues with artifacts in RO Std, so I was hoping better results could be achieved through tweaking MadVR.

I guess my fallback might be to use zoneswitch to pitch animated content into a RO Std zone  ;D

Thanks again for having a look!

So I received some good advice from 62, and I thought I'd share my results.  Using softcubic for chroma and luma with softness set to 80, and debanding on maximum vastly improved the problems I was seeing, which are mostly a result of poor source material (older DVDs).  Softcubic 80 seemed to be the sweet spot for my eyes, 100 was a little too soft, and anything less than 80 wasn't quite as good. 

Thanks much 62 for the advice, much appreciated.  If anyone out there is trying to watch old simpsons DVDs (or other not-so-great transfers of animation, of which I have a few), those are settings I would wholeheartedly recommend.
