I have fed our Museo 365 gsm through Epson 750, 1270 and 2000P with good
success.  I have not tried the ESFA 425gsm though.  Also, the 365 gsm
should be able to go through your cutter fairly well.  (I have cut it on a
hand guillotine in our lab.)

the other thing to consider is $200 for 20 sheets of 24x30 equates to about
120 8 1/2 x 11, which then translates to $1.67/8 1/2 x11 sheet (this for
the 425 gsm ESFA).

similarly, our Museo 365 gsm at $250 for 25 24x36 sheets would yield 8
sheets of 
8 1/2 x 11, so 200 sheets  8 1/2 x 11 at $1.25/sheet.

just some self-promoting thoughts...hope i didn't offend anyone.
thanks for your attention
