That aside, I'd still like to see a bigger gray depth implemented on future devices, as there are lots of other "image content" forms that would benefit from this.

I hope you will provide us the chance to acquire original, limited edition art work at a reasonable price before you become fabulously rich and famous (and your work even more so....)
When you reduce the size of a 1-bit image, often the image editing software will help compensate for this with antialiasing, i.e. grayscale, so sure, every little bit helps. (ooh... bad pun. I almost never notice puns as I'm typing. I think I'll leave it in. )

Regarding "originals," I do all my work in electronic form, mostly with 3D software that renders to a 2D sketch form. I'm not sure what would constitute an "original" of such a work. But thanks for the compliment, anyway.
