Paul,
I'm _convinced_ that what you describe is the best home "darkroom" for
color...even in B&W, several of my friends are shooting traditionally and
scanning conventional negatives for printing digitally. That may be smart
simply because negatives are such a good storage medium (I have to confess,
I've already "lost" or mistakenly trashed two digital image files that I
really wanted and intended to keep...).
I've never tried Ilford Fine Art but of course I have a sentimental
attachment to Ilford, having been a customer to the tune of probably tens of
thousands of dollars in the aggregate over the years. Where do you get
yours?
