Actually, another reason was that I wasn't shooting as much film in late
2009 so I stopped. Since it requires physically calling BPI and sending them
a check, it was easier just to use Xtol.

But now it's available again, I will pick up a pack and see!!

"relatively high in toxicity" is exactly that. It's probably no worse than
other ones, just that Xtol is exceptionally less toxic.

I think my workflow has also improved, so this may eliminate those problems.
We will see.
