    Variable contrast. Don't care about warm vs cold tone - the curve shape is much more important.

    I should answer my own poll, VC and prefer warm tone these days. I use Ilford FB Warmtone and am going to try the Forte for some fun.

    I like the VC CB of Bergger. I has a warm tone in Defender 55, but the base is a bright white and not particularly warm.

    I love graded, but I also like warm tone.

    I prefer graded... Warm or cold tone depending on subject. Toning and developer to taste.

    I've just started using Galerie and love the look of it.
    For split grade printing I use Ilford WT FB with Ilford warmtone and cooltone developers.
