Yes color chemistry needs to be held to strict tolerances, especially
with commercial replenishment-based processors. If you tweak the
chemistry for a certain effect, it takes forever to get it back to normal.

Kodak discontinued Pro 100 and has 160VC labeled as its replacement.
I haven't tried any though. I've never had much luck with color negative
