[pure-silver] Shoulder and highlight

I currently use 2 films when shooting 6X7. Fuji Acros and TriX 320. I'm
disappointed with the highlight separation that I get with TriX, but I like
the pictorial feel of the film. I like the separation of the HL in Acros,
but the film has a mechanical look to it similar to the difference between
video, and motion film stock. I've been testing different film and developer
combinations in search of the separation I want. I have this question. How
does shoulder relate to separation of tone? Tmax film curves go straight
well beyond 2.0 density. TriX slopes off flat early. Am I looking for a film
that shoulders off sharp and high in the curve, or a film with a curve that
goes straight forever. I use D76 at 1:3 for just about everything.
