Do you guys have a link to the Lange scans? If, as Mark says, the quality is poor it would 
obviously be of little use. 
Thoughts:
I could drum scan a neg and provide a DSLR image each in two versions. Version A, already 
edited for print. No image adjustments or color space conversions allowed except for profile 
rendering at print, of course. This could highlight the inherent differences in hw,sw and ink 
interpretation. Version B, a non-adjusted image we could all edit at will and print with our 
full bag of tricks. The only thing I would ask is for detailed printer, ink and driver settings so 
we could see what effects we are looking at. I could easily whip up a form to document this.

One thing that may help is if all those interested list the following info: printer, driver (OEM 
or RIP) and ink set they would use. It would be cool if we got a range of the hardware, 
software and ink options. I'm looking at probably getting one of the HPs before too long.
Anyway, that' s what would excite me...
