Thanks for your effort in making the comparisons clear Moose. When I saw
the original post by CH, I was stunned by the 'quality' of the E1 image -
but fascinated to see that there were details in the scanned image
completely absent from the E1 image *without obvious telltales*. I think
your words sum it up perfectly. It's almost as if we are comparing a water
colour with an oil painting!

there is simply a different "look" to images from the 2 sources.

The greater sharpness of the scanned image and the grain combine to make it
look less appealing to me than the E-1 image in both sizes.

if I sit back in my chair so the sharpening artifacts aren't obvious, I like
the appearance of the E-1 image better. There is a sort of smoother, less
granier look to the E-1 image. It's not as sharp, but has other endearing
qualities. Come to think of it, that's true of people in a lot of cases.
