IMO that's not a reasonable "assumption" in view of the time and money
that goes into making important prints. 

Think what an embarassment it would/should be, if someone actually
buys one, with you knowing what sometimes/often/usually/always (?)
happens to an EEM print within a year or so. 

I feel bad about using EEM in the past. I'd like to retrieve all of
mine and reprint on respectable paper, but I'm not that ethical. 

I don't particularly recommend them to anyone else, but my own matte
choices are now narrowed to Moab Entrada and Kayenta, which I've used
for two years. But that's a matter of personal aesthetics. I'm not
interested in comparison to EEM OR to silver photo paper. Beautiful
with 2200/UT7 or 2200/Epson pigments. (the famous "flaking" that Moab
suffered in the past was packaging dust, which was well known early
on, and easily dealt with using canned air).
