Scanning Black and White with Silverfast

So it just came to my mind that i can test this easily.

The first image is scanned at 48 BIT HDR RAW
The Second image is scanned at 16 BIT HDR RAW

both converted using the same options.
In the first one where the color profile sets the tones are way more what i was going for.
Does it mean i have to scan even black and white at 48 BIT?
