You're right PE. I was suprised to read that the stop and wash steps were not required that I checked the Kodak Pub that I downloaded (I wonder why it is optional for tray and drum but required for rotary processing? It seems to me that of the three the Jobo would have the more consistant and better agitation.) and didn't stop to do the math. For any that is interested, here is the "down n dirty" math part:

(1Gal 2% Stop) X 3800mL of Acid = 50 Gal of 2% Stop
(76mL of Acid)

That works out to about 15 cents per quart. You can't get any cheaper than that an it wouldn't matter if you could.
