Juey, I don't think you have thought that through. A scan of a print vs. the
orginial file would load the images in favor of the digital. Scans of both
prints would load the images in favor of the 6x7 because the digital print
is halftoned and halftoned prints do not scan well. You really need to do
them yourself so you have a first genration print for both.

In another vein, both are adequate for money making photography so it does
not matter as much as most people would think. On the other hand, if you are
doing fine art photography film is still the way to go.

Ciao,
