Ammonium Citrate

I've recently started Pt/Pd printing, and I need some opinions. I'm using
only palladium at the moment until my skills are up to spec. I'd like to
produce some cooler tone
images and I'm wondering if Ammonium Citrate developer is the way to go. All
of the references to it in the archives seem to be negative. Should I just
spring for some platinum and
get the color I want that way, or is this developer a good
alternative? I am currently using potassium oxalate, coating on Arches
Platine, and controlling contrast with the ratios of ferric ox #1 and #2
(usually 3:1). What drawbacks, if any, will I encounter using Ammonium
Citrate with these materials?
Thanks.

Steve
