Not true, film like Superia XTRA 400 gives rather saturated colours. Anyway, for street, it's preferable not to have too many colours that detract from your subject. You want to concentrate on emotion, the moment, the story, etc. Hence my recommendation of the T400CN B&W film. Give it a try, no special processing required. You process them at a normal lab that does your regular film.

Sorry but to push or not to put?

Good recommendation, I second yours.
Some of today's negative films are well saturated (e.g: Fuji Reala)
However, many impressive street photographs are B&W instead of color.

... that's the question. Depends on whether you need the extra sensitivity of ISO 800 - like shooting in not-so-bright places.
