My experience is that grain of T-MAX films vary with developer
formulation just as much as other films, but sometimes in different
ways. (I have more experience with TMX than TMY.)

I agree that Neopan 400 is a bit slower than Tri-X. When Delta 400
changed a few years ago, it also increased speed and graininess. My
guess is that Delta 400 as well as T-MAX 400 were criticized for poor
shadow quality and lack of underexposure latitude, making them less
suitable as student films.
What's your criteria for EI?
