I hate to be negative, but the Piezo list and Cone Editions tests appear to
show Concord Rag to be very sensitive to light.  It sounds like the paper
bleaches out and the image gets very warm.  Somerset Enhanced is also not
considered very stable.

Are there any list members who have tested these papers next to Archival
Matte?

I'm going to test some of the new Legion Photo Matte as soon as my recent
order arrives.

If you're looking for stability, I'd recommend you avoid Concord Rag.  If
you want sepia tones, then it might be a good choice.  Just leave it in the
sun for a while.
