Haven't tried the paper yet, but I do want to vouch for Media Street. They seem to have the cheapest prices across the board for the Hahnemuhle papers (maybe others too, not sure), and I placed an order Saturday night, and received it today! Under $7 shipping on a $90+ order and it came essentially overnight (one state away) considering it wouldn't have gone out till yesterday. Well kudos to UPS for that too, but still, a good operation.
