is image density IME. I fully agree about 'stats having better lower level resolution, and I do love 'stats. But perhaps because the 'stat diaphragm is so light, "massless," the image created seems less dense and overly see-through IMO. The most density is created by good old cones, but they have their own set of compromises of course, so planars kind of hit a nice middle ground.
