In my experience, there are few people who have tried pyro and don't have a strong opinion on it, although I am one of those few.  Many of it's adherants are religious in their praise of the wonder developer.  I went through a phase where I experimented with it, and managed to get some good images, but ended up going back to my old standby of HC-110.  I may dabble in Pyro again in the future, but I found it difficult to get results which were as consistent with Pyro as I get with HC-110. 

My experience is the same as Mark's in that I have been swayed several times (at least 5) to give it a try and have processed a lot of both 120 roll film and sheet film and am unable to identify what is special about it. Maybe it depends on the film you use or the light source you print with. I have tried it on 8x10 film and printed it in platinum as well and see no reason to work with the nasty stuff. Most recently I processed about 15 rolls of 120 ACROS in PMK and found it printed just fine, kind of like if I processed it in Xtol.
