If you are basing your comparisons on prints, produced by someone else then I
would consider your test invalid. I have had a 5x4 enlarged to 8x10 (by a
third party) and had a very noticeable loss in detail.
By the same token if you always get your photos turned into prints, then thats
how you should test ( to see which is better for your purposes ). If on the
other hand you shoot for big enlargments, you may see more of a difference.
I have found that one of my most frustrating problems is getting all the detail
in a small negative onto paper. You need a realy good enarging lens, and some
way to hold the film flat etc.
