And how bad could ANY film be in Xtol 1:3? Now i continue doing certain things with "Tri X" (in name only) pro 320 in 220 format. I also still in the studio in 220 use Plus X. Both the Tri x AND plus x do so much better in Xtol 1:3 than in Rodinal or D76like MQ developers (Rabinol). I shot a model last weekend with several rolls of Neopan Across 100 and the 90 apo Asph. Sometimes I'd switch to a Hasselblad with Zeiss 120 macro Sonnar lens and 120 Neopan Across 100. The "big gun". I only had one roll of 220 Plus X I'd forgotten to stock up. But we'll see if the ACROS 100 blows it out of the water or what. I did shoot both. No 220 means to quick use of 2 120 backs. Doable. The quickest is the Leica M with new Leica motor M or Rapidwinder.
