Yes, I do see the difference in the actual slides.  For many years,
photographers chose their slide films based on what they were shooting and
what color palette and film speed and grain structure they could get with
certain films.  I used Kodachrome almost exclusively up until Kodak turned
the processing over to Qualex.  Qualex ruined Kodachrome processing and
routinely sent me slides contaminated with chemical splotches, cut between
the frames, and severely over or under developed.  I gave up, bought a Jobo
processor and switched to all E-6 films.  I came to like some of them -
Provia and Astia in particular - but none of them ever equaled my old
Kodachrome 64 :-(  Gone but not forgotten!!
