Id-11 properties and effects are the same as D76 is what he meant. Ilford uses Phenidone where as Kodak uses their Metol. The grain sharpness is the same for the two developers. If you get to a point where you start getting an allergic reaction on your hands when using D76, switch to IDll because you are allergic to metol... it is a common occurrence!
