You don't need a Jobo for colour. Simple and cheap methods exist to
handle
C-41 processing. If later you decide that you like processing colour you can
spend the money on a processor. IIRC the CPE-2 is also the most limited
model. If you decide to go that route it might make sense to spend a little
more and get the bigger model.
