The tone is surprisingly warm. Did you selenium tone for a long time? You might want to cut a work print into strips and tone in KRST 1+20 for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 minutes, say, just to see what the different effects are. I find there's a point at which you reach Dmax but still a relatively neutral tone, and then very quickly it goes brownish, then purple-brown--all potentially interesting tones, but usually I'm going for a neutral look with enhanced Dmax. If you use an alkaline fixer, your toning times will be dramatically shorter than with an acid fixer.

Hard to say what the print looks like from the scan, but by my monitor, I'd say it could be a shade lighter for more brilliant whites and a little more shadow detail. I find Azo dries down just about right when the lightest highlight detail is almost not there in the wet print.
 
If you use the back to correct distortion you dont have to worry about coverage. Back movements do not affect lens coverage. Of course your back tilt might be restricted, but it would have been better.
