Enhanced Matte is the old Archival Matte. Epson renamed it, when they found it wasn't as "archival" as one would like. The inks are still fine after archival testing, but the paper itself yellows.

Heavyweight Matte is an entirely different paper. The coating works well for dye inkjets like 1270 or 1280, but its too absorbant for 2200 pigment inks. The ink is hidden in the coating and you end up with low DMAX.
