Something I have noticed since I have had access to a film scanner is that
the variation from film to film of C-41 is very noticeable even for the same
film type, just about every film needs specific balancing to get acceptable
colour balance, whereas just about any E-6 film will scan OK with zero
compensation. Obviously there are slight variations which you may like to
compensate for with different E-6 films, but for C-41 compensation always
seems to be mandatory.
