There is a lot of merit in this recommendation.  I rejected TP and used Tmax
100 for years in a relatively traditional developer (in Microdol 1:3) --
very consistent and reliable.  I may end up taking this same approach again.

But the seductive siren song of ultra-fine grain keeps luring me onto the
rocks.
