Duane, my limited experience with uncoated papers makes me suspect you are correct. There 
does seem to be less hue variation amongst them, than the various coatings.
I still think coating remains an issue lagging in great new solutions. Many issues- physical 
frailty, susceptibility to chemical degradation, appeal, gamut/density performance, total ink, 
etc..
