JC, you are missing (deliberately, I suspect) the point. Collin gets it. He
said it himself, the difference of magnification at 11 x 14 is very slight,
and well within the quality limits of both film sizes.
I recall reading an article in DCCT a while back regarding this very thing.
The gist from several respected photographic artists and technicians was in
agreement with what I have found in my own work.
Perhaps you need to actually make photographic prints to see it.
For myself, I don't really care what you think you know.
