I've used them both, and highly recommend them. They work best with graded papers. Use a good fiber paper and you'll never go back to RC. Did you have anything more specific in mind?

Gil, I own a Zone VI 5x7 enlarger with the Zone VI VC Cold light head and compensating enlarger timer. It is a superb enlarger. I recommend it highly. It handles all film sizes up to 5x7. They even make an 8x10 head if that's you thing.

Hi! I hope that my comment can help you. I didn't realize how important (to my work) my cold light was until I had to send it in to replace a tube. I use a zoneVI variable contrast cold light head. It allows me to 'split print' or dial in any combination of contrast grade. Being forced to go back to the condenser convinced me that cold light is the right thing for me. By the way, 35mm is one of the formats I use & the combination cold light and pyro developer does amazing things to the grain and edge effect. Worth trying!!!! Bye:0)
