It seems to be slightly less contrasted (okay isn't scientifically 
tested), the grain structure looks to be more like delta or TMAX than 
my old negatives; and I hate the orange thing + crystal clear base that 
ruined all my darkroom habits. :)

On the other hand it's a very good film yet, a bit expensive, but I 
find HP-5+ more close to my old negs than the tri-x itself.

Anyway, it's just me.
