Don et al,
The compact B22 XL with two EL-Nikkor lenses (50 & 75mm) and an
Aristo cold light head to swap in for the incandesdent bulb is what I
use. I do get into the darkroom much to rarely these days and often
just go the scanner route after film processing.
The darkoom is a small 1/2 bathroom (toilet & shower) off my study, a
converted garage. The enlarger is on a large removable board above
the toilet. Unfortunately I had to disconnect the water to the
shower becasue it routinely froze in the winter), so I have to water
my prints on the basement sink in a big Paterson tray with a Kodak
Siphon, which gets me out of the darkroom every 45 minutes or so.
Works fine and much better than the complete break-down darkrooms I
have had in the past.
I have bought several large-format Omegas in the past including an
Automega D3 with autofooc track which I probably shoudl have kept but
they large D Omegas but they barely fit my current darkroom space and
are much heavier than the elegant B22 XL. Some day I still hope to
move to large format with a Graflex or Bush Pressman etc.

The Componon was on my wish list to replace the Comparon that came
with my Omega B-22, also bought during my student days. Sadly, I had
to leave the enlarger behind when we moved because I couldn't find a
good home for it.
Thhe Comparon was an excellent lens and I used to make nice
enlargements with it, using a drop-table I made. The B-22 XL
(whatever it was called) would have been a better choice, only
difference was a longer stand.
