Subject: Off Leica Topic - enlarger lenses

LUGgers,

I am finding good information on enlarging lenses hard to come by and
there's such a wealth of experience here I can't resist asking the
following non-Leica question.  My apologies in advance.

I print my monochromes in a shared commercial darkroom and I think its
time to get my own enlarging lens.  I'm seeing spots before my eyes and
they won't go away.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a lens in the 80 - 90 mm range?  I
would like value for money (don't we all), but then I don't want to be
disappointed and want to upgrade in a few years' time either.  I have
been using a Schneider Componon-S and like it (especially the little
lever that allows you to flip between wide open and closed down to my
chosen f-stop).

Regards,
Rob.
