Digital BW, The Print

I would like to hear more on this subject.  I currently scan both 
35mm and MF B&W negs and print with quadtones on a 1280 and I am 
satisfied with the quality. I would like to go totally digital.   
Because of my investment in Nikon lenses, I have been considering a 
D100.  Can I get good 8x10 digital B&W prints by substituting the 
scanned neg with a raw file from a D100 in my workflow?

Mark's images look good on the Web, but will prints from a digital 
camera file get "close" to what is produced from scanned negatives?

Thanks...Val
