Formulary's BW-2 T-MAX developer

I'm interested in trying some of the dedicated T-grain developer -- with the aim of finding one that is simple to use (i.e., not extremely finicky regarding developing parameters) and yields consistent high-quality results. I have used Diafine with the new Delta 400. The processing was easy, but the negatives seemed flat and a bit to grainy. I've also used DiXactol with T-max -- some great results, but uneven. I've also used rodinal (my regular developer) with T-max -- again, too much grain. Looking at the PF site I see they have a developer called BW-2. I'd be interested in hearing anything about this developer. Also, I have hear that Xtol is great for Delta/T-max. My concern here is getting "flat Xtol," which happened once two years ago and turned me off to Xtol -- may go back if someone argues strongly in its favor. I've also heard that Ilfosol-S works great -- again, comments appreciated.
