IMO, trying to economize on sheet film processing is, "penny wise, pound foolish.".
FAR better off spending the required $ on a good working Jobo processor and jobs expert drums as needed.
The amount of grief poorly processed film or film damaged during processing, and other problems that can so easily happen during sheet film processing is often not appreciated until one looks back at the amount of time, resources and a LOT more wasted trying to deal with processed film problems. This is not to say a Jobo & Expert drums are the only way to achieve film processing excellence, it is one of the long proven ways to achieve this at modest film volumes, modest chemistry required and .... Zero wrong with dip-dunk, racks and all with nitrogen burst, Refema processor and ... these tend to be higher volume processing systems that might not fit the needs of a smaller dark room with modest film volumes to be processed.
