Congratulations! 
And thanks for your effort to describe the effects to take into account when using Clear View - it easily can take away the depth of an image and produce artifacts in bokeh.
On the other hand - Clear View can really punch in more appropriate images.
That nails it. And, even more difficult…what is “right”? I do it pretty much the same way, as you described: Make a few different edits (on different days) and then kick out the worse ones. Before I have an image printed in a larger format, I also ask my family which they like best. If it doesn’t look decent afterwards, it is not exclusively my fault, at least
