I use a Jobo ATL-1000, but I also have used a Jobo tank and hand inversion. I used Kodak's times here as well. All of my Paris shots were done with the M cameras. I had two M3 , M6 and a M6TTL. The lenses were 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, 24mm, and 135mm. All were Leica lenses. I had both a Noctilux and a 50mm Summicron along. I used the Summicron during the day and the Noctilux at night. I would use the .85 M6TTL with the 75mm Summilux and the M3 with the Noctilux for the night shooting. The two M3 stayed in Paris when fellow LUG members liked them too much to let me take them home Some of the tonality can be the scanning process. It took me a bit of practice to get it right. It sometimes helps to scan in Color then in Photoshop convert to grey scale after you get the tones close. If you fear the problem is your negatives, you may be too aggressive in your agitation.
