My recommendation would be go 1:2 and err very slightly on the generous side
with your times, or use 1:3 and leave reels empty or experiment to find the
correct times. (I would guess adding 20% over the times on the datasheet
would put you in the ballpark).

I agree. Whenever I have tried XTOL at 1:3 following Kodak's 
recommendations for Jobo's I get weak underdeveloped negs. I get much 
better results at 1:2 plis about 15% time with TMX or TMY.

I haven't tried his suggestions for minimal agitation, but, I will in 
the next few days.

Thanks Johnny
