Tweaking PanF/Rodinal

Ok Guys- In the past, you have been very helpful w/ my numerous questions, and I most appreciate this. Here's the deal. I have shot 120 Pan F (vacation pics from Colorado--lots of rocks and water)at various exposures (on, +1, +2)and developed in Rodinal 1/50 @68degrees for 12 minutes. The idea was to overexpose and under develop to get both shadow detail and highlight detail. I agitate for the 1st 30 sec, then for 5 sec every 30 seconds. My sense is that this is too contrasty as the highlights are blown out (moving water). Would decreasing agitation help this problem? Do I have to increase total time? I'd like to stick to Rodinal for this project...but..the other developer I do have access to is D 76. Thanks in advance. Deb
