Which Platinum Print ids better.

Two versions of the crying child from THE FAMILIES OF THE DIUMP Image. The contrasty one was made with digi neg #2 yesterday and the softer one was made with digi neg #3 today. The chemistry drop count was the same. 

I seem to be getting better blacks when the chemistry contrast is raised, and when the paper has more water in it during coating/exposure.
