Further on XP2, I have found that I get better results when I
have a pro lab process my XP2.  Fortunately I have that option
in an urban area like the San Francisco Bay Area and with
this option I have contact sheets made.

That option, however, does not have the advantage of getting
relatively low cost 4x6 proof prints from the one (or two) hour
labs, although I also have an instant lab that will make me 4x6
proofs from my contact sheet.  If you have enough work for an
instant lab (in my case, that lab sometimes prints some of my
slides, an instant lab function that is not well known) you can
make special arrangements for XP2 processing and printing. 

But I prefer on the first round to have XP2 processed by a pro
lab.  Not as fast, but I use XP2 for its own qualities, not simply
as a b&w alternative.  One day service, but not one to three
hour service.
