I shot a lot of T-Max after it came out. The only down side was I don't believe I could get it in 100' rolls. It's been a while ago, so maybe I had given up on bulk loading by then, but I don't remember rolling my own with T-Max. I shot a number of rolls with my dad's Rollie 3.5F after he passed. I really liked the look of medium format B&W as opposed to 35mm.
At the end of the 1990's, I took a B&W adult photography class at my local high school. They offer adult education in a variety of fields. I found I preferred T-Max much more than Tri-X. For those who aren't aware, T-Max has more contrast than Tri-X. Lots of fun memories printing B&W images in the school's darkroom.

I rarely shot with Tri-X. Plux-X was my go to, or Ilford HP4. I was not a fan of the grainy look that some photographers seemed to like at the time. Even when I was shooting with medium format, I generally preferred the slower films. Despite all the images I took with film, all the money I invested in equipment and supplies, I got very few images I really liked. With digital, I get more images I'm happy with in a single outing than I did with years of shooting film.
