Rob,

I think you'll find that NPS actually has larger grain than NPH. I'm not 
sure why this is, other than the fact that NPH is probably a newer film. 
Once I figured this out, I stopped using NPS altogether and now use NPH 90% 
of the time. The other 10% is NPZ, although I've been trying some Press 800 
and it is also very good.
