I have not seen files from the 100mp Digital backs, but i have a some files from the 80mp 180IQ and I think the Merrill files kill it (with stitching). Just my opinion of course.Who knows? I do know the Merrills and a small tripod + compact pano head are an awesome way to get large format quality that beats any available alternative, up to and including 100mp digital backs, if done correctly. The Manhattan shot was a single row set of 5 stitched images. Because of low distortion and edge to edge sharpness from the lens, stitching is completely invisible. It looks like one shot.
