OK, I think I have come up with a testing scheme that will arrive at reasonable results in short order - or at least get me going in the right direction. I will:
1. Load 3 film holders
2. Shoot the even side of the film holder at box speed
3. Shoot the odd side of the film holder at half box speed - over exposed 1 stop - half the numeric shutter speed.
4. Develop each holder's contents separately at 5.5, 6.5 & 7.5 minutes.
5. All shots will be of the same subject taken at essentially the same time with the same aperture settings.
I will have 2 sheets in the tank for each development time, so have to do 3 development cycles and will have 6 different exposure/development times to see what is best. I will update when I have results.

3 development cycles??? Actually, NO! Set your timer for 7.5 minutes, put the first 2 films into the tank & start the timer. After 1 minute has elapsed, add the second pair of films. After another 1 minute - add the last pair of films. Take them all out when the 7.5 minutes have elapsed. Easy-Peasy!
