mixing xtol and rodinal

Hello,
Hello,
I standardize BW development on Xtol and Rodinal.
I use Agfa film in rodinal and Fuji Acros, neopan400/1600 in Xtol.
Because the chemicals are cheap and good to work with.
Though i find the results for fuji film in Xtol (1+1) not bad. But Neopan 1600 lack the "bite".
(mostly Neopan Acros and 400 come out fine).
Now i'm orientating on mixing Xtol and rodinal for NP1600.
My questions are:
What should i pay attention to when i mix xtol and rodinal. ?
Which dilutions are fine ?
What experiences do others have ?
I'm planning my first test: Xtol (1+2) (total 300 ml) plus 5 ml Rodinal for 9 min 20 C Is this a good start point ?
