Not the kit, but I've worked several reversal film systems.  What I saw most
in the approaches I tried was a contrast increase.

I take the modulation transfer function as the most relevant measure of
"sharpness," and that usually is better with the negative processes.
Apparent sharpness increases with contrast because it gets transmitted more
effectively.  That is a big part of my being so interested in signal to
noise ratio.  I amplify the fine detail to the point it offsets the MFT (or
more).  All too often with Tmax or T400CN or any film but TP in MF, the
noise gets in the way of this.
