There is not much more in the negatives then you see on the monitor. But I have a very good crt monitor. Things might be different on an other monitor. Don't get too obsessive with tonality. As long as you like the picture it is oke. Technique should be a way to get results, not the goal in it self I stick to one film and one developer. I recently switched form xtol 1+1 to xtol 1+2. Small variations makes you an expert in the long run, but be consistent. Small variations can make quit a difference.
