Mike,
Don't know if you know this or not . . .
Pro Image 100 is *identical* to Kodak Bright Sun Film (formerly known as
Gold 100).
Compare the last sections in the data sheets for the two films (shows
characteristic curves and discusses image structure):

Bright Sun Film (aka Gold 100):

I believe you will come to the same conclusion that two sets of tests were
conducted for each one, but the results are so very, very, very close they
are statistically very, very, very insignificant. IOW, manufacturing
variation in emulsion lots, or perhaps a difference in aging, would easily
account for it.
Buy some "Bright Sun Film" that isn't quite brand new (that's aged about a
year or about 12-18 months before expiration) so it isn't "green" [not
quite ripened] and you get the same stuff.
