My understanding is
that dimezone-s is a form of phenidone. The next time I mix up xtol I'm going
to try using edta instead of the dtpa.

I prefer the standard MQ Borax (D-76/ID-11) to the PQ Borax (ID-68) developer and I suspect that I will also like the Metol (Elon) variant of Xtol as well.
I also find Metol much easier to weigh than Phenidone.
You are correct that Dimezone-S is a Phenidone derivative.
EDTA (fe) might work with the developer, but why not just stick with the DTPA now that you have already bought some?
For Xtol-M (Metol), I would start with the times given for D-76 and ID-11.
