Yes.  This pro lab will develop 120-size film for $9 in two hours, seven
days a week; the cost for 135 is the same.  The one-hour place charges only
very slightly less, but it won't accept 120 at all (their machines will
handle it, but they told me that the training and extra maintenance isn't
justified by the very tiny 120 volume they'd probably do if they accepted
it).  Also, the pro lab will do contact sheets (for $26, alas!), and the
one-hour place will not.  Of course, a pro lab can also push or pull, or
cross-process, or whatever you want, if you pay the price, as you have
already observed.
