You may want to try using Vuescan, and saving a T-Max 400 profile with the adjustments that appeal to you.Just finished scanning the Plus X and TMAX 400. Even in 35mm Im getting blown highlights, so it seems I'll have to do the histogram method which would take way longer.
More generally though, T-Max 400 in X-Tol in your lighting conditions is capable of giving you really exceptional results - you (and your software/enlarger just need to get used to it.
