The Fuji's 100MP are really good, but in print, from my experience with other Bayer prints, the SDQH would narrow the gap quite a bit. So I am still quite happy with the SDQH even more when I look at the price, which is literally 10% of the Fuji.

A couple of friends and I were doing a print test, and printing some gallery work, we all use different cameras one Fuji, one Nikon, one Sony, one Canon and me with my Sigma's the SD15 or the SD1M, y when printing 13x19 inches or 17x22 inches on a Epson P800 or the Canon Pro 1000. The Sigma/Foveon has the nod/edge over the others. It was crisper, sharper, and has more pop.

Agreed.

MP, extra detail were never my reasons to go with Sigma.

It was the look in some scenes from Sigma that made me prefer to photograph with Sigma.

Yes, the tonal transitions and integration/harmony/continuity of the image rather than particles.

I had a DP3M and primarily shot with a Fuji X-Pro1.  Knowing that a GFX would be out of reach for many years, the Fuji release nevertheless prompted me to invest in an sd Quattro and Art lenses as consolation (and, in turn, the L family since I had lenses).

The GFX output and operational simplicity is magnificent, and even able to elicit some aspects of Foveon by brute force, but between Foveon and the S1R I feel like I’ve made the better choice.  One thing which appeals to me about the fp (which I don’t have) even without Foveon is the Fuji-like emphasis upon stylistic control/flow.
