First, I have not printed the 600+ papers in the SpectrumViz list so can 
not answer what they do in use. It is consistent but limited information 
I try to gather and publish.

I  did not see what could make Mono Silk special, not for B&W and not 
for color.

When Ilford Imaging introduced Mono Silk last year I had some remarks on 
the specifications that contradicted their claims in et rest of the 
introduction. A girl/lady Ilford representative got in my opinion the 
wrong answers from Ilford marketing to answer my comments. There was 
more going wrong with the introduction of other papers then including 
their description. "Prestige" was added to the names though :-)  I think 
the girl was not employed there soon afterwards as she wrote to me later 
on, not the first one that had to leave. I hope she got another job 
soon. I think the last year at Ilford was close to chaos.
