Anyone used Arista Cold Tone developer?

[athanasius80]

I need to pick up some things at Freestyle and I'm curious if anyone has experience with Arista Cold Tone developer. I've never liked the greenish tinge of Ilford RC but like the look I get in Ilford Cooltone. I'd prefer to not set up a selenium toner bath for the sake of simplicity. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Ilford's new Cooltone developer is nice, I've been using it a lot recently (with MGIV FB) and like the results. There are also the Clayton Cold Tone and Ultra Cold Tone developers. I've got the Ultra, but haven't gotten time to test it yet.

I use the arista CT developer. have had good luck with it with Ilford, but kentmere I seem to be getting muddy results. It could be the paper and any developer. I just started using kentmere. but the ilford is good. I like the 1:14 ratio.
