Thanks everyone for the advice on negatives - if the lab is underdeveloping that would explain why I get so much better prints from XP2 Super with little/no magenta. I do plan to develop my own negs, the barrier has always been time as the 3 or 4 hours a month I can get into the darkroom I would rather spend making prints than developing negs. I'll have to have a think about whether to get the lab to develop for longer or do home developing!
Once again, I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to offer advice.
