Digital BW, The Print

No!
It won't be 24 times better, but it will be significantly better.
When the 6MP cameras first came out I did a comparisonthe Nikon 
version to my 35mm slide scans (ASA100 Fuji slide film). At that time 
I was using a Minolta Dimage scanner( not a great scanner), and the 
scanned slides had slightly more detail( despite the grain) than the 
6mp camera. My 16 MP Canon blows them both out of the water and so 
will a good scan of a 6x7 negative.
