Tri-X has grain. T400CN doesn't. I'd assume T400CN has die clouds? > I've > never tried to develop Tri-X for very fine grain. It works best by > exploiting it's edge effect via its grain structure.

I've been using D-76 1:1 for ever, and I get very sharp results with "reduced" grain, and I really like the results. I did not like Microdol 1:3. I'll pick up a few rolls of T400CN and see how it scans compared to Tri-X. I can scan at 5080, so that should give me something pretty good to look at.
