One (possibly one-and-a-half) steps up from three-trays-and-a-naked-bulb... This is 3 trays and a D2V in a bathroom.
Shown configured for 8x10. Easily reconfigured for up to 16x20 (the largest I presently do).
Can honestly say I've never worn a suit and tie while printing (in fact in mid summer in Sydney its more likely to be a pair of "budgie-smugglers" and little else - no a/c!)

Here is mine, bit cluttered but I know exactly where to find everything.

Gee now that enlargers are so cheap I guess you could set one up for each format and just leave them at that!
I no longer have these images on my computer - but you can see them enlarged here:

Thanks for asking.

My "Hybrid" Darkroom ...
My darkroom is space limited at 8'x8.5' so it gets pretty cozy, especially for two people. (However, it does have an 18' vaulted ceiling.) There are two processors, the Jobo CPP2 and the DoMac 16" roller processor plus the Nova vertical tank.
The Beseler/Minolta 45A has been replaced by a D5500 because I can no longer obtain the flash tubes. I use the Vivitar for 35mm and 120 (because I like the condensers for these films). The D5500 is for the 4x5 and sometimes the 120 if the negatives are too contrasty.
There is a small adjacent bathroom where I load film holders and developing tanks. It has a small shower stall where I hang my negatives to dry.
Out in the rest of the loft I have shelves where I store accessories and bulk chemicals, as well as tables for matting and framing my prints. There is also the refrigerator where I have what is becoming a life time supply of film and papers.
For comfort I no longer wear my suit in the darkroom. Do you suppose that's why my work isn't popular?

Al,
