Digital BW, The Print

I scan b&W film as color to take full advantage of the Nikon software 
and it seems to me that even then, converting from rgb to grayscale 
via the channel mixer provides some degree of control over the 
process.  However, given that the basic data scanned is only b&w, I 
can't quite understand why the channel mixer should make a difference 
when converting from a monochrome rgb scan to grayscale.  I don't 
think I am imagining it.  Would B&W Pro be worth it in this case?  I 
think my Nik sharpening plug-in comes from the same company and I am 
really pleased with it.
