Count me in on Provia 400F.  Both the 35mm and 120 formats are excellent
at recording blue and red.  And, while 400F is a bit less red-sensitive
than E200, you can always do double stacks with one or more of each film
to get the desired effect.  I've done just that on many shots and am
happy with the results, for example:

Great shot, BTW, Marco!
