well there's still a lot more replies here, so I'll include some extra info
the lab I go to will develop without prints (and it's a good price too, just $5 to develop C-41, and they'll even do scans for an extra $2) so I'm not too concerned in terms of pricing. Though I do get the overall message of being "don't expect good results" which I won't if I end up shooting it. I've even gone and looked up what I could expect and I have seen the "bad" results, but all I can say is, could be interesting still.
