Jann:
I am surprised that you are finding either ESFA or Museo yellower than the
other.  Which do you find yellower?

todd, jann:
The differences: because the basis weights are different, the textures will
vary.  My observations have been that ESFA is slightly smoother, less
toothier, than Museo (but as manufacturing goes, you may find some
variations in the field). Also, the inkjet receptive coating are slightly
different. Neither ESFA nor Museo contain OBA's, and the hot and cold pH
extract should be equal as well. (still need to post these figures.)
hope this helps
