Thanks, I think that some of the richness in the colour may have been  
lost. On my corrected screen at home (a mac) they're a great match  
but at work they looked less vibrant. They still convey the basic  
idea though.

I know it is very often used in fashion but I think that the added  
colour and saturation really work with the grittier stuff I'm  
shooting, the extra grain isn't a bother either.

Thanks but these aren't home printed. I'm re-taking the continuing  
education colour photography course at the local art college. That  
gives me access to colour enlargers and an RA-4 processor. It's still  
tough balancing the colour (especially with some of the wonky colour  
from the cross-processing) but this ensures that the processing is at  
least consistent so I don't get shifts from that too.
