Mission description now up (new abbreviated format?): http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/files/T-75_508_v41.pdf

A more complete description of images (RGB composite + some near looks at Adiri - did the recent storm wash away any surface coatings?) on the CICLOPS Looking Ahead summary: http://www.ciclops.org/view/6763/Rev147

The T75 flyby produced Titan images that were one Saturn year (29.47 earth years) after the Voyager2 flyby in 1981. Although the filters and flyby orientation differs one can see similarity in Titan's appearance especially in the narrow dark northern band area.

Not only the filters were different, but the processing was obviously different. High pass filtering, etc. If you applied the same processing to the Voyager images today, they would look pretty similar to Cassini images. Here's one such Voyager 2 shot.

You got that right! Your T75-Voyager2 images are much closer in appearance although the brighter southern hemisphere in the Voyager 2 image is not that apparent in the Cassini RGB raw images.
