Greg,

Scala is a very nice film, I use it occasionally. Some of my PAWs this year are
taken with it. It is eminently pushable to 400, in fact I sometimes think that
it is better at 400 than at the standard 200--the images are a bit more
contrasty, which is a good thing since under some conditions I find the images
shot at 200 a bit flat. Of course, this assumes that your lab is able and
willing to push Scala.

I have not tried any of the alternatives.
