The last thing I want to do is start a flame war on this topic.  Tray
development eliminates so much complication and, when done properly,
provides a gorgeous, even and smooth negative.  Cleanup is so much easier,
too.  Make sure to have the film upside-down in the tray with the notches in
the lower right corner and shuffle from the bottom.  You won't get scratches
with this regimen and cleanup is a snap.  If you move to inspection
development (and you can't say you won't), you only need add the green
safelight in the future.
