There is no "correct" way to convert to BW. The standard BW conversion of Color Efex Pro 3 indeed is dark. Many BW photos from the past that grab you do like shadows (iow: lots of black) and the standard BW conversion settings are geared towards that look. You do have to make rather light exposures to get nice results with it standard settings.
I prefer the tonal enhancer method in the BW conversion, and it gives 3 pre-sets to choose from. Probably they will be more to your liking?
