New Kodak Portra 400 35mm, experiences?

It also wet prints well-- it's a very good match for the Fuji crystal archive paper (which is what most people are using since you can't get the kodak in cut sheets anymore) The only issue is that the grain structure is hard to focus on with low magnification grain focusers (a problem with other kodak colour film as well). The grain in prints is about equal to the fuji 160s I used to use and it has more shadow detail at 800 than fuji 800z did- so it replaces both of these films for me. I really miss the 800z colour palate though) Have not had a chance to try the new 160 yet.
 
Not happy with Portra....yet?

I've found the negatives to be too thin for my taste at ISO 400. Scanning these thin negatives gives me unsatisfactory color. Neither do I care for the landscapes with this film despite what others have said..and yes, I realize it's formulated for skin tones.

Any suggestions? I'd love to use this film right. My metering for BW has been satisfactory.
