Actually, the grain in modern high speed films is not that bad,
even with enlargements. The color is even quite good. I've not used any
myself, being partial to 200 most of the time as a good general purpose
film. I have used 400 on bright days though. The biggest difference that
I notice on 4x6 when comparing the various speeds is in the color values.
