Ditto.  I've yet to use the new Portra 160, but by all accounts, it's 
good stuff.  The previous versions of 160 were great, so the new one 
should be even better.  If the grain increase in Portra 400 (still 
fine-grained) is acceptable, then it's a wonderful film.

If you are interested, here's a sample of the 400 scanned on a minilab 
scanner at 4000x6000 and resized by flickr.  If you click through to the 
original size, you can see what the grain looks like.  I've got other 
Portra 400 samples in my stream, most scanned at the same resolution.
