I use it all the time. . . I don't know if it's "better", but I like the
neutral film base when I'm doing my own printing.  OTOH, if you just
want minilab prints, you might be better off with the orange-based
T400CN.  Also--and this is just my impression--XP2 doesn't seem to
respond as much to filtration, say with a yellow or light green, as the
tradtional line of Ilford B&W.

When I was out west at Christmas, I tried some 120 XP2S in an old 6X9
Crown Graphic, and the results were spectacular.
