I just printed the same image on 8 papers last night:

Moab Kokepelli Photo Matte
Moab Entrada Fine Art Smooth
Merlin Smooth
Condor BW
Hahnlemuhle Photo Rag
Hahnemuhle William Turner
Arches Infinity Fine Art Smooth
Epson Enhanced Matte

I've laid them out and compared them briefly last night.  I am waiting
until later today (I'm at work now) to do more definitive comparisons
after all the inks have dried and when the lighting is better. 
However, I did notice significant similarity of the Condor BW and
Entrada Fine Art Smooth.  Blacks looked at first glance a little
darker on Condor but the paper color and ink colors looked very close.
 Will report back more later.

Also at first glance, the William Turner, although quite warm, really
had the best blacks, sharpest details and best shadow detail.  PR
also.  Darn flaking!  Darn prices!
