In a few days, I should take delivery of a Jobo CPE-2 Plus processor (with the lift thingy). So far as I can tell, this processor is conducive to a process that uses up to four baths (or four that can be temperature controlled to be more exact).

I already have Fuji Hunt C41 chemicals, and would like to add E6 so that I can process 120 Velvia 100F. I'm leaning a little towards the Fuji Hunt 6-bath E6 kit, but I'm not sure if I can use this readily with the CPE-2.

Aside from something that is straightforward to use and produces consistent results, I would like reasonable shelf life of part used chemicals.

Suggestions?
 
Fuji Hunt will do. The Tetenal kits are fine as well, easy to use and more affordable (at least if you are in Europe). That said, 3-bath is not up to 6-bath if you have a well calibrated process running in a permanently attended ATL. But in manual processing (or if you own no transmission densitometer/cannot afford fresh Fuji or Kodak text strips), the deviations introduced by using 3-bath rather than 6-bath fall back behind the inevitable inconsistencies of the operator...
 
Thanks sevo. What are the various kits like for shelf life once they have been mixed? (I'm assuming mixing 1L of each of the working solutions.)
