OK, here goes. All give similar CIs. Agitation is standard inversion 30 sec initial, 5 sec/30 sec.

Ethol TEC (liquid) 1:15 5'30"/ 70F EI 50

Xtol 1:3 12'/70F EI 12

Rodinal 1:100 5'/72F EI 12

Burton 195 6'/68F EI 12

TDLC-103 10'/68F EI 12

C-41 9'/68F EI 16

I too don't really like TP. The curve shape is weird, spectral sensitivity is a bit unnatural, it doesn't like any development or exposure variations and it really doesn't like changes in humidity. I think that for the most part limitations in camera and film-flatness precision and improper technique limit its actual image resolution to no better than a traditional-type (non-document) film such as TMX etc.
