Grain can be greatly influence by developer choice. I would also
hesitate to make grain comparisons.

I think you are referring to Dickerson and Zawadzki's article
published on Photo Techniques. It's also found on their web site. Full
reference info and possibly direct links to the article was discussed
in the old pure silver several times since its publication.

I don't comment on graininess comparison, but T-MAX 400 is still
sharper than Tri-X in average contrast.
