The way I look at it, hextile is capable of a 16x16 tile that can be 
raw, filled, or can contain colored subrects.

Tight allows arbitrary tile size, can be raw, filled, or paletted.  
Paletted is going to be a pretty close approximation to colored subrects 
(probably superior).  Since Tight is compressed, the result should be 
that Tight always does better than compressed hextile.

Not to mention the fact that ZLibHex is not supported very well across 
clients.
