Sounds like a nice combination.  Many years ago, I made some 16x20 color
prints on an enlarger from 35mm 100 ISO (ASA then) color film (forget which)
and I could easily see the "grain" or dye clouds.  I made only a couple B&W
prints that size from fine grain 35mm B&W Ilford film--forget whether it was
50 or 100 ISO--and they looked pretty good, grain not an issue unless you
want large format quality.
