Todd, gamut and depth of black are far less on uncoated papers no 
matter which ink, without question. Metamerism, I don't know, I've 
only done tests with color images that don't show it well. Because the 
dye is actually absorbed into the uncoated paper metamerism may very 
well be different.
If those qualities are the priority, coated papers are the way to go. 
If not, I've seen some lovely prints with dyes and uncoated.
