The odd thing is that this doesn't happen - at least no more than printing 
on a harder grade of paper provides. I did this some years ago: match the 
image contrast and you cannot see any difference even using a magnifier 
(same lens, same neg, same enlarger, different head). You do get less cack 
showing up from the diffuse head though. I put the condenser head away in 
a box as a result of this test, and it has stayed there ever since.
