If the OP likes some grain, I must admit I do also, then maybe try Ilford Ilfosol 3.
Personally, I like it 1+14 @20C.

The thing, craig, is TMY2 is not superior, not even from a technical point of view... It has less grain, yes, and it has higher shadow contrast, yes, but for some other cases, TX has design characteristics and technical qualities that make it the best option.
I mean this in the same sense Delta400 isn't technically superior to Delta3200. Delta400 is finer grained, just that.

It is... It also has a massively better MTF curve and a more linear scale.

Why? Because all the other developers still sell. Why do they make Tri-X, when TMY is better in every regard? Because people still buy Tri-X and Kodak can still make money selling Tri-X. It has absolutely nothing to do with technical qualities.

Adox is the one making their own version of Xtol, not Foma.

Your right, the Foma version does not contain hydroquinone.

For me, the HC110 is much better quality

The results with the Rodinal are less detailed
