Pushing film, high contrast situation

[M like Leica M6]

XTol is great for pushing film, but in a few weeks I have to take photos in a situation with a lot of contrast: a market at night. Pushing will increase the contrast further.

In the old days, 20 years ago, we used Diafine or Emofin. Results were okay, but not more. Are there more modern options today?

Ilford Microphen should give you the results you wan't. It's a high speed developer.
