 i use Premium Luster as well as Premium Semi-Gloss.
 i prefer EPSG myself, but to be honest, they are so close, i can 
only tell the difference when they are actually in my hand.
 Luster is cheaper, so i do my proofing on it, and the final print on 
Semi-gloss.

 i feel that i get a "little" better Dmax on Semi-Gloss, and also 
feel it is a "little" sharper (under a loupe), maybe it's just that 
it's smoother, BUT i am spitting hairs. hanging on the wall, not many 
would see a difference.

  other my disagree with my observations, but don't i think you'd see 
a big difference in the two.

  those two are the only papers i use though, and i've tried A LOT of 
papers.

 hope that helps
