Aside from having optical brighteners in it, it was as good as anything I've seen for a combination of consistency, d-max, response to carbon blacks, and general 'feel'.  It seemed to do a good job with Epson ABW, too.   And, of course, it was inexpensive and readily available if you lived near a Costco in North America.
