Response to Tonal range of Chromogenics compared to trad. B&W

Yes, XP2 does change contrast/tonal range in the way described above. I suspect T400CN does too. XP2 has a very, very long scale and you can change the contrast by changing the exposure. The more light it gets the more contrast and the finer "grain". The less exposure the softer it gets and the "grain" in the dark range of the print gets larger. Of course it responds to filtering too. And you can do this all on the same roll because the process stays the same. I use it from 200 to 1600! It looks VERY different at various exposures. Test and see for yourself.
