Where would that place it relative to Photo Matte? I find the base "white"
of Photo Matte too cool, but Concord Rag too warm.

My preference would be for something around the color of Somerset Enhanced
(the old, haven't seen the new), but with better blacks and less texture
than SE, but more tooth than LPM. In general I prefer a heavier paper.

Could you review the changes to the legion line that have occurred recently
and how the papers relate to each other in terms of color, weight, surface,
and Dmax? I heard that SE got a facelift, and the original SE got a name
change, and I've been uncertain of what's what ever since.

Thanks,
Todd Flashner
