Subject: [Leica] B&W, digital vs. film

Please indulge me. If not, please click delete :-)

Looking at:
http://www.dragonsgate.net/photosite/PaW2005/ 26 pictures, 11 are in B&W 
(week 11 I converted to Sepia just because I thought it looks better that 
way).

Week 1, 2, 3 and 16 are taken with Epson R-D1. Shot RAW and converted to B&W
Week 9, 10, 12 are Tri-X pushed to ASA800
Week 11 T-Max 400.
Week 22 are Acros 100
Week 24, both of them, are HP5+

Not looking at my (lack of) photographic ability for the moment, but just 
judging the look of the photos for the B&W quality, what do you think? 
Consider my B&W workflow is unconventional - negatives are processed in a 
Jobo, then scan. Do they look any worse than conventional processed B&W?

Thanks for any comments and suggestions.
