While my images have improved with digital, my photography has not (if that makes any sense). The $.25 is not as much of a concern as the difficulty developing and scanning film in a 150-year house with lots of dust and pet hair. I do like the appearance of silver halide over digital (grittiness), but digital is so much more convenient.
