Thanks John, BTW I agree with you, really the scanned
images look without quality differences regarding any
neg I could developed yesterday and considering the
differences for the film type and developers of
course.
Five years ago a friend of mine that had an enlarger
for LF did a new print from a neg about my grandma
taken around 1925, I was impressed for the results, it
seemed a new photograph about grandma taken today,
however it's necessary to say the negative was in
excellent condition. I'll try to scan the LF neg with
my scanner for MF or at least the print for the next
month.

All the best
