Better. While you always loose some fine detail with de-noise filters, many times it's worth it. At print-on-the-wall viewing distances, most won't notice the loss. Low-light shots like this using small imagers always have noise in neutral-density areas & shadow areas. The only decent way to partially clean it up is to despeckle/de-noise a bit. The only method I know to get less noise is to use a camera with a big imager. My Nikon D810 is a brick to carry around, but if you want less noise & more dynamic range in these kinds of settings, that's what you need (or the equivalent Canon, Sony, etc.)...
