Response to Delta 400 vs HP5+

I shot 15 35mm rolls of the new Delta past july. Deveoped it with Ilfotec DD-x, Xtol and ID-11 using EI 320 - 1600. What most bothers me is the grain pattern, tabular grain is ugly ! Perhaps I did not 'learn' this film well enough, but my prints did not show better tonality or edge sharpness than HP5+. True, I know HP5+ like the palm of my hand and have learned to get fantastic results with it in various conditions, it is a true workhorse film. I for one wont change films!
