PIT NVIDIA vs SeedVR2

I decided to compare NVIDIA's new upscaler model called PIT, which performs upscaling based on Latent space rather than the standard Image-based approach used by other upscalers. In theory, this method should give the upscaler model better contextual understanding and fewer artifacts when generating fine details that are not always clear to a conventional upscaler. I decided to compare PIT against the most popular and effective upscaler at the moment - SeedVR2. The tests were conducted on the Z-image-Turbo (Fp8) model (I may test on Flux 2 Klein later.
