A couple of weeks ago the claim was that the two were identical and only the 
name was changed due to concerns about the use of the term "Archival", and 
the logo dropped.  I challenged the writer, in a good manner, as to why they 
would do that and why we should believe him.  he responded with quite a 
resume and contacts within the Epson organization.  Now, we have this which 
seems to claim that the two are very different.  Now who should we believe 
and why? FWIW, for me on my C80, EAM works the best of any paper I have 
tried.
