Polar Matte is as white as Kayenta, but it's very different otherwise.

Kayenta is two-sided, PM is one-sided. PM's surface seems identical to
EEM whereas Kayenta is lightly grained (I've not yet seen Lasal). 

PM is even whiter than EEM, cause for concern...will it yellow even
more rapidly than EEM? In my experience EEM starts yellowing in months
whereas Kayenta has shown no evidence in the two years I've used it.

Moab Entrada Bright, is not as extremely white as Polar Matte is said
to be more resistant to yellowing than many whitened cotton papers
because it's not AS white as they are. That was considered by Moab
when they created the paper. 

Some say alpha-cellulose has a whiteness permanance advantage over
cotton because it's not whitened in the same way...it isn't a
fundamentally non-white (natural/cream) paper the way cotton papers
all are.
