Hi, The Paterson E6 kit I use runs at 32C, if I remember rightly. Not too difficult to achieve using a tempering bath, I would think. However, I invested in a JOBO CPE2 processor, which is bascially a waterbath with a rotation drive. This will take 35mm, 120 and 4x5 (and even 16x20 prints) with the correct tanks & spools. I bought it for 4x5 from my SpeedGraphic, but it also does a good job with 35mm and 120 reversal film. In fact, having used it for E6 and found it very easy, I now use it for all my B&W processing as well.
You can get one on Ebay for $150 or less with a 35/120 tank (the 4x5 tank would be another $50). My local pro lab charges about $4 for a single 4x5 sheet, so this will pay for itself fairly quickly (particularly as I just bought 500 sheets of out-of-date Fuji Astia!). However, Jobo is a German make and few come up on US Ebay (I'm in the UK). The alternative would be to find a Graflex 6x9 roll film back (I use an MPP back) and use 120 reversal film - you should find this easier to process locally.
