There are loads of excellent paper developer formulas out there..
Most of the packaged one these days tend to be either MQ or PQ formulas..
I think the Ilford is a PQ probably not unlike the Champion Multispeed
developer.. A box (2x5 litre jugs) should last some time and should be cheaper..
The Ilford stuff is anyway now from Champion :-)
Scratch is, however, also cheap... For that money one could get a pound of
metol, 50g of Phenidone or Dimezone and some Hydroquinone or some Ascorbic
acid and a few other cheap bits to make perhaps a years worth of developer..
and have a much better shelf-life (properly stored Metol, for instance, can
keep for a millenia).......
