Will Tri-x in Rodinal at EI 250 give noticably better results than EI 400?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo - Film & Processing : One Thread

I would like to experiment with developing Tri-X in Rodinal 1 + 100, and I have the data for doing this at EI 400 and also at EI 250. My question is: would there be a noticable improvement in visual quality at the lower of these two speeds? If so, what specific improvements should I expect to see at the lower rating?

Shadow detail. You might be developing for a little less time and would then get a little less contrast and less grain. Many users of Tri-X use ei=250 or 200.
