Tom,

The actual thickness of those papers you mentioned can be a bit 
misleading. I would say that the ESFA 225 feels about the same 
actual thickness in your hand as the PhotoRag308. I've never 
fully understood how papers get rated, but it would seem more 
accurate, (or maybe more applicable in the real world) if they 
rated them by caliper thickness rather than weight (gsm).

The Eclipse Satine, for example, is rated at 300gsm, but it's 
MUCH thicker in your hand than PhotoRag308.

So I guess I'm just warning you to try the real thing, rather that 
just going by the numbers...
