In fact there were published test reports that in their current and latest
reincarnation, 400TX is finer grained than TMY.  unfortunately, I don't
remember which developer was the "winning" one.

Me, I just use 400TX and D76, not by conviction, but by laziness.
I've been doing this stuff so long that I can now do it with both of 
my eyes closed, really :-)  Whatever is easiest is greatest.
