Yes, 180gsm is on the light side, but for mounted prints that in  
itself is not a deal-breaker.

I too like the double sided Matt BW, but I rarely used the "other" side.

Let's reserve judgment until we actually print on the new paper.  It  
may, in fact, turn out that for *visual* purposes the extra 30gsm was  
needed only to prevent interaction of the images on the two sides.

That having been said, I should note that my experience has been that  
210gsm papers are often inferior visually to heavier papers, even from  
the same manufacturer and within the same product line.
