16 bit scan is useful for image editing, for final image output or viewing
there is little different especially your display card is limited to 24bit

I run my display at 32bit
I agree monitor viewing has better color and dynamic range than print but I
feel more convenient in viewing print, I can enjoy it anywhere instead of
sit beside the computer.
You mean you aren't at your computer all the time?? :-)
Seriously, just a matter of preferrence, not right or wrong.
Film matters too, and Portrait NC is one of my favorites, low contrast and
huge latitude. I just got back my first roll of 400VC, but don't have an
opinion yet.
I don't use Portrait NC except for portrait, to my eyes it cannot proper
render the sunny scenes, just compressed too much.
I was just browsing the film I picked up today and started wondering
what was wrong with the images. Then I remembered, it's my first roll of
400VC. Way too contrasty, funny colors. It may just be a bad match for
the scanning they do where I have my film processed. I'll try some scans
of my own before making a final judgment, but I suspect it's back to NC
for me. I find that the combo of NC and my procesor works well for sunny
scenes. And remember my digital work flow, I can and do adjust
histogram, curves, contrast, brightness, saturation, etc. for images I
otherwise like.
I like Supra 100 (the old Ektapress 100) unfortunately it is discontinued.
I generally like the Supras. Shot my last roll of 100 a month ago. I
just got some 200 to try out, see how I like it compared to 160NC.
