Hi Keith;

I finally just last night got that developmental version (4.3.11) 
going last night, haven't had much chance to test it, but the color 
print I tried had microbanding across the entire range- how is your 
print quality, and which version are you using?

It does have an impressive array of controls and curve boxes, though 
it doesn't yet separate dark colors from photo colors for hextone 
control.
