Sorry Paul but if it's any help I can thoroughly recommend the Nova Quad. I have a 12X16 version purchased from secondhand darkroom supplies. I use it for both RC and FB paper and I have to say it's made printing so much more pleasureable. Whilst it has some disadvangates such as the inability to see the print properly during development (you do see most of it as you lift and dunk however) the advantages stack up considerably
1) Space saving
2) Heats up quickly
3) Chemicals last weeks if care is taken
4) Allows productive use of the odd hour or so, you can get printing quickly
5) Fast shut down time at the end of the session.

Go on Paul, bite the bullet
