Least grain film at 1600?

[Bill Burk]

I think it HP5 pushed to 1200 should be finer than Delta 3200 shot at 1600. Delta is a faster film (ISO 1250) than HP5 (ISO 400) so grain should be bigger in general.

For developers i would recommend Microphen but HC110 was intended for pushing as well (a favorite of press photographers). But i think Microphen would give smaller grain.

Considering its ISO 1250 and my usual preference for 2/3 stop additional exposure... I might be interested in a comparison of Delta 3200 shot at 800... with something like TMAX-400 pushed to 800
