The biggest bonus for me is the fact that the new Ilford paper is faster than the old by about 20%, not a lot I know but for a large print which may take 100 seconds with MG4 you now will only have to use 80 seconds.

As for the apparent contrast, you can always use a grade softer if you wish, you are not bound to use a hard filter.
