If Kodak Made A 'Warm' Version Of Ektachrome 100, Would You Try It?

Remember Ektachrome 'GX' back in the 90's & early to mid 2000's - it was the 'warm' version of Ektachrome 'G'.
So then,
the rest of this post is self-explanatory...

To the extent they could make look, feel, and smell like Kodachrome, I'd be all in

Just how many old-school employees remain at Fuji versus Gen X'ers/Millenials is THE key question...

Why? Also, the oldest Gen X people are 59, and could have easily been working there since the 80s…

I absolutely love Ektachrome as it is.

I don't know that I can explain why this is, but the times I've sent it to a lab (any lab), it has come back with the oft-complained-about blue cast, especially in the shadows. The times I've developed it myself (either using a 3-bath E6 kit I bought from the FPP, or using an "E6(-)" type process with strong HC-110 as the first developer, then light fogging, and ECN-2 chemistry to process the rest of the way), it has come out with really excellent color balance and a distinct lack of blue shadows.

But if I wasn't happy with the blue cast, honestly I'd just shoot it through my 81A. Don't really see the need for a warmer version of the film.

And with all that said, if for some reason Kodak released a warmer version of Ektachrome, I wouldn't hesitate to buy some and try it out haha.

A slight color adjustment to E100 wouldn't matter much to me. A higher film speed version would be great. It's very hard to find high speed slide film anymore in decent working order (though I did get lucky recently).
