I used to have the CPE 2+ and upgraded to a CPP. I
still do sheet film on reels (I have no complaints),
as well as some 120 and 35mm. Although I primarily
use traditional developers (HC-110 is my primary, some
D-76), I did go through a phase where I was doing Pyro
in the Jobo, using ABC Pyro with a bit of EDTA added
to the 'A' solution.
