Simply Elegant Gold Fiber 310

[Alan Goldhammer]

I recieved the regular (at)lex email advertisement yesterday and they had an interesting new offering:  Simply Elegant Gold Fiber 310.  They say it's a direct replacement for the Ilford paper that a lot of us really liked.  It's supposed to give identical results and uses the same ICC profiles.  Simply Elegant appears to be a private label paper and I couldn't find any information on who the manufacturer is.  25 count 13x19 paper size is only $1US less than Canson Baryta Photographique so it's not clear to me that there is any benefit in trying some since the Canson paper works very well for me as a substitute.  I'm interested in whether anyone has tried this new paper though it might be too soon since it looks to have just been introduced.

in fact, it's significantly more expensive except for the 13x19 size and then add S&H whereas B&H is free shipping.  What would
be the incentive?

itSupplies, Atlex under another name, has free shipping on any orders of $99.

If nothing else it would be good to have a less expensive 13" x 19" version - it is usually the most expensive cut, not being an even fraction of any larger size.

That was the size I priced and I didn't look at other sizes.
