The panchromatic image with a wet-plate filter just doesn't look right. It's missing that weird, high-contrast metallic look the blue-sensitive emulsion produces.

On seeing Salgado prints, they look very good. He tries to keep the same look as when shooting film. No "dupe" involved.
You probably look for conspiracies with buying a used car if the guy washed or waxed the damn thing.
Want the prints to look good and like how a particular film shows - but not having the film, why not use the technology available?
Haven't tried DxO but according to their site it only features a couple dozen film grains. Alien Skin Exposure is amazing in its variety and I love it. I only ever shoot 3-4 film emulsions, but for some digital shots I might apply a grain from a film I would never shoot and it looks better than the grain from the film I prefer. Depends on the shot.
