After a few weeks of use I'll resubmit my opinion about the Mod.

Used it to develop both E6 and bw. There is a bit of a learning curve with loading, but I've only had film pop out once. The last time I used it I forgot about agitating gently a couple times, but everything still came out fine. I would submit that stand development is probably the safest bet with BW, but results can definitely be achieved with normal agitation.

Highly recommended product. Scratch free, evenly developed negatives are such a luxury!
