I'm sure they are. In the 1950s the available picture sources were nothing like as good as now. A flying spot slide or film scanner of that period might just about have equalled a modern one but modern cameras will be much better. Also there are no "off air" degradations. I know that modern kit is often used badly and now we contend with compression artefacts but that isn't the point.
The weakest link in the 405 NTSC chain is now the receiver. Any improvements there will be rewarded with better pictures.
Congratulations to both of you for making 405 NTSC live again. And of course to Darryl for making it possible to experiment with 405 NTSC without designing your own converter. David Robinson's converter (a "one off" with no intention to make more) produces 405 NTSC but AFAIK it has never been displayed on a colour set.
