Well, Ilfochrome isn't that cheap either!!! Why compare mid-price to most
expensive? THe only way of Ilfochrome to be at least somehow reasonable
priced is that you do it yourself. I've done it, and I can't wait for
digital to catch up (no, hasn't yet), because digital printing is so much
easier (the basic stuff) and that would give me time to do better things
with the photos (or get more of them) - not to mention I can breath! Just
spend a few hours in not se well airconditioned darkroom breating that
Ilfochrome stuff... :-(

No, they don't last that well in real life. But they are getting there. Of
course what they are claiming is actually much more than Ilfochrome, so if
it was true... (and there are some color problems also currently)
