I think with 6mp capture (compared to 35mm scanned) we're settling for "it's 
good enough".

I am stating a reality where I live.  It is not cost effective to
shoot film for the quality sake.  All they do is scan it and charge me
more than for digital prints.  So I am not getting any better quality,
I am paying for film, developing and more for the prints.  So even if
it can be shown that a good optical 35mm print is higher quality than
6mp digi, the process is getting in the way.  Certainly all my clients
are happy with my digital output up to 20X30.
