Jerry,

Just to "stir the pot", from my experience, B&W silver films have a unique
look, even when scanned.  Scans from color films can make fine photographs,
with a lot of potential from having all the colors at your disposal (for
b&w) but they still have a different look than traditional silver b&w films
when scanned.
