Tonal range of Chromogenics compared to trad. B&W

I've been doing some comparisons between the Kodak Chromogenic T-400 CN and traditional films like T-Max 400 and HP5+. At first all I saw was how much finer the grain structure is in the Chromogenic. But now I'm starting to notice that maybe the chromogenic doesn't have quite the subtle tonal range of HP5+. It also seems that colors like the lips and eyes seem to come out much darker. It almost looks like the kids are wearing lipstick. Bright blue eyes look like brown eyes and brown eyes turn into black pits. Anyone know of comparison info on tonal comparisons between the two film types.
