Digital BW, The Print

I've been lurking for a month or so, getting set up with an R220 and MIS inks for hextone 
and BO output from my scanned B&W negatives, and have been having a grand time 
making stacks of prints as holiday gifts, so thanks all for the great info. on this group.

I'm now at the point where I'm fine-tuning my process and am looking for a paper stock to 
become my standard paper.  I've tried many different kinds, and like aspects of many of 
them, but haven't found a go-to paper yet.  Note that I haven't tried any glossy (or lustre 
or semi-matte) papers yet (waiting for my first cart of Eboni to run out, but I generally 
prefer matte for my "hero" prints).  I know this will be a continuing saga of trial and error 
(not to mention my changing tastes), but I'm looking for suggestions based on some 
criteria I've observed in other papers:

 - Papers like HPR and Red River Dourian Art have a bit too much texture for me, but I love 
e.g. Dourian's balance of warmth, brightness, ink color and, especially, its dmax.  The 
R220 doesn't want to eat the HPR in 308gsm weight and needs a bit of "help" to get it to 
take (and the stiff curl at the end of the page can result in uneven printing -- only visible 
in BO so far).  I've had the same weight/thickness issue with Moab Entrada BW (@ 
300gsm).

 - PA205 (or PremierArt Matte Scrapbook for Epson which I've been using) is a beautiful 
paper, but the base is too warm for me and the weight (@ 205) and dmax too low.

 - EEM is great but not archival.  Also perhaps a little too bright/cool and not heavy 
enough to feel like a "real" print in the hand.  The smoothness is just about right though.

So, are there papers out there that I could/should try that may combine the elements 
above: ~230-280 gsm weight, smooth texture a la EEM and good balance of warmth, 
brightness and dmax such as in HPR and RR Dourian Art?  Thanks again all for the great 
info. here and for reading if you've made it this far ;).

Cheers,
