Acutol v Rodinal

I wonder if someone could help me. I used to use Paterson Acutol (FX14) a lot when I used films like Pan F and FP4 because of the acutance effect. It doesn't seem to be very popular now and even the manufacturer, Paterson, promotes FX39 in preference as a compensating developer(e.g. with Tech Pan). However, Rodinal, which is an even older formula than Acutol still seems popular. has anyone used both Rodinal and Acutol and able to compare.
