Well, going down on CRF so that the bitrates are close to each other still shows the ugly banding-like artifacts of mode 2

I think I also need to compare aq-modes 1 and 3 with SDR sources in a similar way.
EDIT: tested, and aq-mode 3 looks better at least in the video I checked. So it would seem to be the go-to setting for SDR but jury's very much out on aq-mode 2 and HDR.
