Now that travelwide is about to be shipped, I am wondering what are your methods on daylight developing 4x5 paper negatives/positives? Tray developing is out. I used to do taco method, but I only did 2 paper negatives per developing session and that seems slow to me. Has anyone tried the mod45 for paper?
 
I know you said tray developing is out, but that is my only process these days. If I was to return to drums, I would recommend the Chromega 8x10 Color Processing Drum (complete w/rods) and a Uniroller. You can develop 4-4x5 prints/negatives together, with ease. But sadly the Chromega drums are as rare as hens teeth. Other drums can be found to do a similar job. The Unicolor I think is another brand. http://www.largeformatphotography.info/unicolor/

I wouldn't recommend putting all of your eggs in one basket.
