It's not really that difficult. Just last night I developed 8 35mm rolls 
and 7 4x5 sheets of Provia and Velvia. It took about three hours. I use the 
Tetenal three-batch E-6 kit (the five liter size) and a Jobo CPE-2 
processor. The Jobo makes the temperature control and time repeatability a 
breeze. C-41 is about the same degree of difficulty. I would say that, with 
a table top processor, color is only a little more difficult than black and 
white. And I don't have to worry about the lab "technician" dropping my 
film on the floor and stepping on it. I can do that myself! :-)
