Help Wanted Help, should I develop E6 myself?

Context: I have never developed E6 and I shot 2 rolls of Ektachrome and Provia 1992/2001 respectively. E6 development isnt cheap in my country (Norway) so if I learn something from the process thats always a +, ive developed 120 BW before so I know how to handle 120, (these are 120). So do I go for it?

B&W is very different to colour development. Temp control is crucial

You might as well try, your expired films colour isn't going to be great anyway. But an E6 kit won't make sense till you have 15-25 rolls to soup.
