You might try one more roll with them and ask for +1 development if they offer it. Most commercial labs are using something like FG7 which doesn't cause them issues with over development or other catastrophic failures as most people accept a softer image over soot and chalk. I admire you, I have gifted all my darkroom stuff to a cooperative in Atlanta so hopefully it is being used to good effect.
