I think the reason is that the contrast has to be boosted via scanner software or photoshop and inscreasing contrast brings out some awful artifacts with print film (lines, etc. at 100 %).
What's your final output? I use Miller's lab for printing and they only develop print film and that would be a plus. They will also print print film via custom job at high dollar. I find that if I scan slide film, put it on a cd and send it to them to print on regular photo paper (or proof on my Epson printer) I have more control. I do run print film with my 120 back (Fuji 160C and 400H).
I usually buy outdated quickload films and usually pay about $35 for 20 sheets. $35 for 50 sheets is a very good price.
