I second the use of the step wedge. You can reduce your film costs significantly. To save even more money, cut the 8x10 sheets up into 4x5 pieces. then you can test the actual film stock without the cost. If you want to practice tray developing 8x10 sheets in your tests, then use the stouffer step wedge and purchase the software from BTZS for use with it. You will have to use at most 6-8 sheets of film.
One possible problem--you will need access to a densitometer to read your negs. if that is a problem, then use the BTZS testing procedures.
