I've never though about it in those terms but at 64 and using the
exposure compensation dial I don't have to push process and I have the
flexibility to bracket (which I often do).  As I said, it's probably a
matter of taste -- I tend to like saturated colors.  I also recommend
Provia 100 which is very reliable and flexible film.
