That would great a lot of noise if true !!! 

I went to the link : no way I get a word...They're a magazine in 
France too called "Inkjet" but I wouldn't dare posting a single of 
their paper review. I believe for glossy we're on our own.

Tetenal Fine Art Premium Glossy is not bad, but only small sizes. 
Amongst, all Epson ones, like Paul, I'd go for semi-matte, low 
bronzing, clean surface, the only thing, is like Luster, it tends to 
be slightly warm-green compared to Premium Gloss and semi-gloss. And 
it's definitely not a hi-gloss paper, but a good compromise. For some 
reasons, I feel hi-gloss papers do not show really vibrant colors as 
compared to semi-glossy ones, I feel they tend to flaten the print, 
but it's a personal view. 

I'm still a believer we can produce decent BW on glossy stock, though 
I must say I'm not yet there. Jon Cone is working on it, let's see.
