Wulff Henning I think what we could be talking about here is we can unsharp mask the hell out of chromegic films like color neg and we don't get that heartbreaking crusty look. For the purposes of scanning for Inkjetting of A3's or bigger this could be a great thing. And I can see how it with the ICE might be darn convenient saving hours of cloning. But for the purposes of website making and emailing the benefits might be minimal. Or letter sized Inkjetting even. For me scanning from a just developed and dried (therefore clean) neg i like the looks of real film. I like the control i have over real film (not chromegic) and i like that fact that my negs from 1965 look good as new. Chromegic film fades while you look at it.
