Fomapan profi-line 'Creative' 200 - anyone using?

Dave, this doesn't exactly replicate what you're doing but I recently processed my first roll of 35mm Foma 100 in Rodinal 1+50. I exposed it at box speed. Foma don't give times for Rodinal so I talked to the Australian distributor and also consulted the Massive Development Chart. Chris Reid was talking 12 minutes which seemed pretty long and the "Chart" gives 7 mins which seemed a bit short to me so I opted for 10 mins with four inversions every minute. This is at the denser end of the times given for ID-11 @ 1:1. The results were very satisfactory to me. I think Rodinal probably isn't the best developer for this emulsion and I'm going to use ID-11 for the next one today (which happens to be a Fomapan 400 in 120 size).

It's my favorite black and white film actually...just such lovely tones. For what it's worth, I get nice results exposed at 100, developed 5:30 in ilfosol 3 at 1:14. Best results from anything I've developed myself (which isn't saying too much, since I'm no pro, but anyway...)
