I wouldn't be surprised if you could bump it up to 16x20.
I had pretty much decided to go with conventional b+w film for my needs,
but about a 2 months ago I came across some Delta 100 I had shot when I
wasn't 'into' b+w yet. They were processed at a pro lab who use TMAX
developer for everything.
I wasn't too hopeful when I came across the negs.
Anyway, I liked one pic particularly, as it was a decent pic of me and
my sister, so I printed it. I was shocked at how good it looked. My
sister is fair-skinned, I was tan, and her husband is black. All the
skin tones looked great, very sharp, tight grain. Last week I printed
some 11x14's that looked more than acceptable. If I could print larger,
I would.
Anyway, that experience got me looking at Delta again. If I can figure
out how to control the highlights (PMK?) I may just switch.
