I agree, Rodinal, HC-110 and other accutance oriented developers tend to result in poor tonality in 35mm and perhaps 6x4.5 format. It's impractical to seek a developer that gives everything. People tend to overemphasize whatever they like. Be skeptical when you hear too good story like "exceptional accutance and very beautiful tonality."
