Chris,
I think you'll just end up being frustrated by the process as you cannot remove
the color sensitivity from the system (the beyer array). What you're doing is
like trying to use a B&W filter with a color film and then trying to print that
negative. The results just won't work well as the tools are not the right ones
for the job.
You'd need the Leica MM or one of the /really/ early Kodak's for this to work
the way you expect it to. As those cameras are B&W natively on the sensor and
it's processing system.
The only way to be satisfied without a mortgage is to work in post from a color
file.
