Response to Ifosol S

I pretty much agree with John. Grain and sharpness are about equal to D-76 on FP4+, PanF, Tri-x and HP5+ at the 1+9 dilution too.
I find that Ilfosol works very well with T-max 100 though. It tames the highlight density far more than D-76 with this film, and gets a bit more shadow separation out of it. If you're looking for an economical one-shot version of D-76, then this has got to be it.
I'd recommend using a stop bath with this developer, since it tends to carry on working quite strongly in a plain water rinse. Maybe this isn't quite so noticeable at 1+14 dilution.
