Absolutely true (re: can't carry everything).
And it all depends on the ultimate purpose of the image.

And also true (re: missing grain) that,
while the grainy skies remind me of why I loved large format  
landscapes on film,
the grain on many film shooters posts
remind me of why I loved 35 mm tri-x.

;~)

I must say that the current state of digital imaging
really does provide an extreme degree of flexibility
in how one wishes the final image to appear in print
through post processing;
while in the film days
most of the decisions had to be made
at the point of choosing format and film and processing.
