Subject: [Leica] Developer for Neopan 1600/TMax 3200

I am doing an event shoot this weekend. It's in an indoor large hall, 
mixed and relatively dark lighting. I am pulling out all the stops 
and bringing the M7 and XPan-II with Neopan 1600, or may be even TMax 
3200, and the Epson R-D1. For the long ends, I even borrowed a Nikon 
D70 with 200mm zoom.

For the Neopan 1600 or TMax 3200, what's the "best developer" to use? 
My trusted Harvey 777 soup has not been used for a while, so my 
fallback would be Xtol 1:2. The scenes will be contrasty and I want 
to bring out the shadow details as much as possible. What's the best 
way to do that?

Thanks!
