I have never said "there's no difference in 8x10" -- I have said, good p&s makes quite decent 8x10s.
However, 4x6 printed from a shot Supra 100 taken with a very fine SMC-A 50/1.7, with camera on tripod, printed in a 1hr lab, does look like crap, most of times anyway. My point was, for a reasonable person, who wants snapshots from his vacation, 50/1.7 (or any other) prime is very unlikely to have any advantage over 28-80 zoom.

At 8x10 I can very easily tell the shots from my Oly Mju II (35/2.8
prime lens) from those taken with my Pentax K-mount lenses. Except those
taken with my former A 28-80 zoom.
At 4x6 it depends a lot of the lab, but for films of same brand and ISO
processed by a decent lab the same day, you can see the differences,
especially if you know what to look at.
