Yes, everyone does different types of photography and what may be 
unacceptable for one person may be great for another, the only way you 
are going to decide is to try both yourself. The other thing is that 
there are some people out there that will never be happy with digital, 
they will want to put a 100x lupe on 40x50 prints from a 1mp camera so 
that they can point out how inferior it is.

Borrow or rent both cameras and shoot like you normally would and make 
prints from both then hang them on the wall and ask people to pick 
which is best or which is digital, chances are most people will not be 
able to tell the difference. I am not sure why there is such an 
obsession to put high powered lupes on large prints to determine 
quality, prints should be judged the way they are normally viewed by 
the people buying them, not a bunch of super critical photographers 
with high powered lupes.
