If you're having a contest, I hope to win the real Innova & not the Lexjet version.  I'm a bit 
embarrassed about this!  In my building there's a photo lab that buys a lot of stuff from 
Lexjet.  They got a box of the fiber glossy, tried it for BW, & were going to send the box 
back. They gave me some of the Lexjet product to try, telling me it was Innova, & I 
subsequently wrote a couple of notes - including one to folks in the DigitalBWThePrint 
print exchange - saying how bad I thought the Innova looked, because of its pitted 
surface.  

When Michael Reichmann wrote favorably about Innova, I tried a new package of 'real' 
Innova from Exim Vaios & found that it was a different surface than Lexjet's, with less 
noticeable pits.  A useful paper, I think; I'll know for sure when I've got a profile to try in 
color too.

Anyhow the two are different, & don't form your opinion about Innova by trying the Lexjet 
substitute!
