...Kodachrome II had more silver in it, thus some photographers saw the switch to K64, K25 as downgrade...

I don't know for specifically but less sounds likely to me. There were reductions in silver in B&W papers. There were many downgrades.

One upgrade was the grain in Tri-X. I mean Tri-X before it lost the hump at Zone VI.

Does anyone remember the Hunt brothers? I wish I believed in hell. I'd like to picture them there. :)
