For less than $40 you can have far better information about those two films than you can get here. What possible value could anyone else's opinion have compared to your own, especially when film and processing is so cheap? In my opinion, Velvia gives every picture that "Warner Brother's Cartoon" look, because of the ridiculously high color saturation. But so what? Nobody should give a flying whoopy what I think. You're the photographer/artist. You're the one making the image. It's only YOUR vision that counts.
