I tried a sampling of 120 size Arista Edu Ultra 400 a couple of years
ago. I did not care for it and would not buy it again. It curled very
badly but that alone would not be an issue for me - I use glass negative
holders that will hold the film flat. I just did not care for the grain
or the tonality. I am not sure it really is an ISO 400 film but did not
have the chance to test it much.
I think that with the right experimentation in exposure and developing
could bring the best out of the film. But, as inexpensive as it was I
did not see anything there worth investing time in. But some people use
this film and like it.
I only tried the ISO 400 film. I did not try the ISO 100 or 200
variants. In the past I used a good bit of Classic Pan ISO 200, which
was a high silver old style film, perhaps made by Forte. I loved it
despite it being very curly. I was hoping the the Arista would be
similar, but it is not.
I'd recommend getting a couple of rolls to test out.

Freestyle Photo has it on sale and I think I want to buy 10 rolls. But
I've heard of issues with curling. Really bad curling. Tried a
Google search and there's nothing about it being posted anywhere
recently.
