Jeffrey,
I had assumed that the term "more lively," which was used to describe
prints made with metal halide lights, might in fact be an effect
which we could attribute to greater apparent sharpness.
Regarding the question of difference between the look of Pt/Pd prints
made in direct sun and shade, if not one of apparent sharpness, could
you elaborate somewhat on the actual nature of the difference?
