On several occasions -- all more than 2 years ago -- I tested these films,
and the Kodak version always ended up on top in terms of grain and
resolution.

Probably not that much; they seem to be close.

While Kodak's older version (T400CN) is what I use for my high speed B&W,
I'm not a fan of these films unless the speed or commercial processing is
needed.
