I do agree with you regarding Kodak's intentions.  I have a 100' spool 
of Tech Pan in the freezer, and a few boxes of 4x5 HSI.  I'm trying to 
avoid their products based on principle, but I just got some shots back 
from the lab from a trip to Utah in March.  I was very impressed with 
their new E100G.  In full sunlight, I think the Velvia 50 shots are 
better.  However, on the overcast days, the Velvia was dull and flat, 
the E100G looked like what you would have expected from the Velvia - 
much more vibrant and saturated.  I took 4 E6 flims and shot them all in 
a row, I wanted to see what I liked best (Provia, Velvia, E100G and 
E100VS).  At least I narrowed it down to two :-)
