These tabular grain films get some stick as plastic,metallic,digital etc. so as I am intending to do some 120 portraits on Delta 100 in Pyrocat HD here are counter debating points.First, a pro I know shoots his film portraiture on Delta 100 because his clients buy the smooth look.
Second, see the last post here:

Delta and Acros produce beautiful translucent skin tones when properly exposed.Since Prescysol is similar to Pyrocat HD,Acros in Precysol should be fine.

Interesting reading. I do overexpose quite heavily to clean up the skin, but felt that I was overcooking this a touch. A new developer instead of the usual Rodinal will hopefully calm things down.
