Mike,
If you're still looking for Kodak Professional Pro Image 100 Film, I made composites of the Characteristic Curves, Spectral Dye-Density Curves, and Spectral-Sensitivity Curves, for Kodak's Pro Image 100 and Kodak's Bright Sun (formerly called Gold 100). Judge for yourself the similarity of the two films. IIRC, the PGI for one is 43 and the other is 45. You can see the composites of all the curves from both data sheets here:

This is how I came to the conclusion they are, in essence, the same film. The differences are so very slight as to be statistically insignificant and could easily be confounded completely with variation in emulsion lots, test equipment used, and exact conditions under which the testing was done.

I don't want to denigrate the film, only point out you should get the same results from either one if all else is done in the same manner (processing and printing). What someone uses is a personal choice based on what's desired for the image.
