Regarding DxO,
I wouldn't call them "the benchmark" - they do far too many alterations of their data for that.
Their lens tests are all bunk anyway, they attempt (and unsurprisingly, fail) to compute out the camera sensor involved and then extrapolate to other cameras without doing the test directly.
An MTF bench would be a good investment for them since they could then actually remove camera influence, but then DxO isn't interested in good data anyway =) They're mathematicians, not optics graduates.
