Interesting approach. I get the Contrast right for my color interpretation, but I always seem to add a good bit more Contrast in my B&W interpretation. I use DxO's FilmPack which has a few dozen film emulations, but I lean towards Rollie Ortho 25, which, in DxO's interpretation, shows lots of grey-to-grey gradients. I look at the darkest parts and see how high I can go and still maintain a gradient, then I might back off from that just a little.
