I bought a Duolab processor from Jobo (approx. $450) and also buy my chemistries from them. I believe I'm getting good and consistent results. I converted a bathroom into a darkroom although I use it mainly for B&W printing; actualy I use XP2 Super which also justifies the use of the Duolab. Setting up the room for darkness takes more time than using a change bag. I encourage those who have an interest to go ahead and buy the necessary equipment; it adds to the understanding of the photographic process, it also adds control (push processing) and it is downright fun!...but not necessarily cheaper.
