Due to space restrictions I could not set up a 'darkroom' as such so I bought the Nova FP daylight processing unit. It works great. I had some initial problems as I wanted to continue using the Ilford Delta 100 and 400 films but I was getting very grainy images with the Ilford HC developer I was using. Once I switched to Ilford ID-11 I started developing excellent negatives that scanned beautifully and produce great prints on my black and white Piezography set-up. I can now consistently produce good quality negs from the Delta films (which I find to be great quality films) so if you go that route I would be glad to let you know what I am doing. Of course there are many more experienced on this list than me so there is an element of the blind leading the blind here ;-) Good luck with it.
