Comparing MaxImDL vs Star_Mx5 Image Capture

Hi all, (Reposting again from Beginners forum)
May be this has already been discussed before.
I had a chance to take some sample images using Starlight Xpress Mx516 camera using both MaxImDL 4 (demo) and the usual Star_Mx5 old world executable. To my surprise the time of image download by Star_mx5.exe is little but noticeably faster and the image look to have a better contrast! After trying to compare both on MaxImDL the Histogram / screen stretch window the curb looks similar but not exactly the same; may be because of extra fraction if image download time! Also in the same experiment noticed the higher contrast of the image taken by Star_Mx5.

Is there any special settings that needs to be made in order to achieve the same result from MaxImDL?

Thank you in advance,
Ansuman.
