Ilford MG FB Warmtone is warm all right, gives excellent Dmax even without toning, and is very responsive to toners. It's coated on a yellowish base with lots, and I mean lots, of brighteners. The effect can be a bit much sometimes, though I wonder what the stuff will look like years from now when the brighteners have died. In any case, it's one of my standards, and I do think it's worth a try. I have tried the semi-matte surface, BTW, and found it too flat for my taste, but if you liked the Agfa in that surface you might not mind that.
