Interesting comparison! I almost never used color negative film. For me it was black & white negative or color reversal. And yes, we were always making comparisons! :P Ektachrome was more accurate color, but so many people liked Kodachrome's (fake/orange) color better.
I'll never forget chatting with 2 photographers one day: the first said how Fuji Provia was the greatest film ever and nothing from Kodak came close. Two hours later I was talking to another photographer who handed me a brick of 20 rolls of Provia and said, "do you want this? I can't use it! Worst color ever."
Eye of the beholder, always! Just like fine distinctions in oil paint, or hair dye.
I miss FujiC200 (also my go-to) and this Fuji is definitely NOT IT. I don't mind Gold, but conditions have to be bright and sunny for me to really love it. I still love Ultramax but will forever be pining for FujiC200 and savouring my last couple of rolls!

Keep up the great work.
