To my mind it should be the same issue whether the determination is being
made with a densitometer, condenser, coldlight, point source, LED, or
eyeballs and a lightbox. I propose that you can get a greater density range
from both BW neg and color chromes, than you can from color neg.

I use all of condenser, coldlight, and diffusion enlargers.
