Tough question Jeff...

Variables aside, I'd definitely rather have a Type 2 from the original negative with better photo quality and clarity. Just my personal preference, as the central image is what matters to me the most.

"Type 1" obviously performs far better in auctions and sells for much more, as that's what most people want. So it's hard to state what the Type 2 value should be when looking at it as a percentage of Type 1. It's difficult to separate personal preferences from market value.

The already established prices realized and potential resale are such big factors in assessing value. If I had to put a personal number to it, maybe 35-40% (Type 2 as a percentage of Type 1). But even that depends upon the photo quality and subject matter.

I like to collect those early Composite display-type photos, which technically do not receive a Type 1 designation. So that muddies it up even more for me.

Sorry for the rambling non-answer!
