B.D.

I'm glad you "set the record straight" but you cut me to the quick doing it. 
:)

In my defense let me say  I've done it both ways and prefer printing sans 
stains and odors, with a consistency that can't be beat.

I've been fortunate enough to have had access to many fine silver prints, 
i.e. A. A's, Brett and Edward W.'s, Minor White's and a host of others. I 
know what a good print is supposed to look like.

If  we are willing to stumble around carrying our "nostalgia" as excess 
baggage the potential will escape us. Also, I'd like to think picking up a 
Leica is about making images. If image quality is first and foremost then 
get a 4x5.
