However, the point has been made that most pro output is used in print media which digital is definitely up to. If you want a silver print that will reproduce well as a quality halftone you need to make it slightly less contrasty than the best you can make for direct viewing.
For that matter in my personal opinion digital is not yet quite up to the best quality chemical/optical custom color print either. But understand, no one who is trying to get the very best quality is going to use a small format (35mm or digital) original either. When you are using 4x5 or larger originals the grain argument becomes specious.

One of these years, I am sure the technology will be in place to make a black and white print to match my standard of quality.

There are still no dedicated B&W inkjet printers? You'd think someone (Epson, Canon, etc.) would jump on that sooner or later. Or have an all black cartridge (with shades of gray) that can be loaded in where the color cartridge is usually goes.
