I've printed a great deal on both, and can report that I use the double sided 
double weight matte from Dotworks for all my general printing on both roll 
format and sheet feed Epsons... it profiles very nicely too. I use the acid 
free, PH balanced single coated Fine Art matte for those projects that demand 
it, either for longevity or for the thicker softer, watercolor paper feel in 
hand. They have a long life luster that is a favorite as well, and once the 
glossy version of that is available, that will become my standard gloss media.
