Canson infinity Rag photographique, Museo Portfolio Rag, HPR, Premier Art Smooth Fine Art, and no doubt  several others are all similar in aesthetic properties, ie., for the most part without "bright white" OBA appearance and similar weight and texture. 

Not to overstate my support, but am very happy to see PremierArt Fine Art among your candidates. It's my understanding that this paper is essentially the same as Epson's PremierArt Scrapbook paper... which Epson claims is their most archival paper. 

Forgot to mention this in my off-forum e-mail with you. Just adding that here in this forum, thinking it might be useful information for other readers of this very active thread. Thus, in spite of the rather prosaic sounding label of "Scrapbook" it's a paper worth taking notice of.
