I confess that my use of Perceptol has been the first home developing I've done for probably a couple of years, so I am probably not the person to ask!
Here's a somewhat longwinded reply by way of more explanation.
I had to purchase all-new dev chems and I found that my expensive purchase of liquid ID-11 a few years back had been largely a waste of money (expired), so I looked for powder chems. I bought a 5litre pack of D-76 and a 1 litre pack of Perceptol. I had 2 rolls of 35mm (Eastman 522 that I was very keen to evaluate) and the roll of FP5+ shot in my newly acquired Hasselblad 503CX. MassiveDev gave me appropriate mixes of 1+1 for the Eastman 5222 at ISO200-250, and 1+1 for the HP5+ shot at ISO400.
I had other issues with reel loading, however I did manage to maintain a stable temperature throughout for all three separate development processes. Surprisingly it seems that I have less grain on the HP5+ than on the Eastman 5222.
I also have a power supply that has gone AWOL for my Dimage Scan Dual IV, so I was forced to scan the 35mm, like the 120 HP5+, on my Epson V700 Photo; that of course may also be a factor in the 35mm scan results I've got.
