I've used a lot of the Epson.  I prefer the Canson or Ilford, but I wouldn't characterize the Epson as more brittle, unless you mean that as a visual characteristic rather than mechanical.

I have noticed any difference in that aspect between those two papers. But I've found that the paper base tone changes quite rapidly with the Exhibition paper if it's exposed to light. After just a few months it's not so bright any more. It seems that OBA:s that are used in the Exhibition paper fade at a faster rate than the OBA:s that Canson uses.

This is the recurring complaint regarding the Epson paper.

The feel of the paper and the surface texture.  It's a personal and subjective preference.
