"better" is always a tricky concept in this brave new world. Would you say that it is better 
in terms of match to monitor when soft proofing?
Don't mean to push this too far, I think the real issue is that the two papers do not, in 
fact, preform the same. Never did for me either.
Also, there have been over the last year or so a lot of batch variance for me and others I 
know with PhotoRag, could be a factor as well.
