Jols
I have an old NIK sofware program on my other computer which offer a variety of B/W options with adjustments. Don't know if its still a free download, funnily enough I can't seem to get that copy of mine to work on this computer. Something I will have to look into, maybe its a windows XP thing only
Found it go for the 15 day free trial

Hi Bazza ,
I don't mean to stress you out , maybe I shouldn't pass comment until I have a better computer . I just Jols image in comparison to yours looked better on my screen , maybe the whites were bleach and the blacks blocked .
Having said that , as you say " if the client likes it then no problem "

Otta
I don't disbelieve it may well look better on your screen, its just that I was of the same opinion about photos on my other 2 computers with Samsung screens.
Having done an expensive upgrade directed purely for photos/videos I can see a huge difference. If anyone had told me that before I would have thought " yer so he says but it can't be that good".
Its really down to a case of seeing is believing in the end, which is why I sold my colourmunki calibration kit it became redundant.

Your second edit looks the best Jols.
Bazza, sorry but I agree with Otta, your edit looks er, wrong
(and yes, I am on a graphic designer's computer (a Mac Pro) with a calibrated 30" IPS screen 
)
Jols maybe the tut in this thread may be of help to you: http://www.yophotographer.com/page.php?t=11356
