Good choice. Try Unicolor's Press Maxx developer with TMax 100 and 400 and
you'll see Tri-X tonality with TMax grain. Wonderful stuff. But it's horrid
with P3200. Grain all over the place.

Also give Delta 100 a try. Amazing sharpness and grain. Beautiful tonality.
It's great in D-76 ( or ID-11 plus).
