Subject: [Leica] neopan 400 vs. delta 400 in Xtol

Anybody have experience with both Neopan 400 and Delta 400 in Xtol?

My favorite place to buy film, B&H, is out of stock of Neopan 400.  I'm a
handful of rolls away from running out, so it's time to re-order.  Figured
I'd try Delta 400.  So I just ordered 20.

I notice that the Massive Film Developing Chart doesn't have times for Delta
400 exposed at 400 in Xtol 1:3.  With Neopan, I haven't had to worry about
the minimum developer volume of 100 ml per roll.  I run closer to 65 ml.  I
know Tmax needs the 100.  And Delta is tab-grained, too.  Anybody know if I
should keep 100 ml per roll for Delta?

If you've run both Neopan and Delta 400 in Xtol, I'd be interested in your
times so I can get a feel for where I should start with Delta.
