Au contrarire, I have compared Baryta stuff with Paper Rag and other non-matt surface such as Pearl and semi-gloss, and for fine art use, the newer Baryta paper produce excellent prints. The point is not that it looks or feel like darkroom stuff, but that the imaging quality by itself is very high. As you may know, I run a couple print exchange, from letter size to 13x19, and the Baryta prints is as good or better than anything else. Unless of course your like matte rag paper, but that's like choosing between colors or B&W - each with its own strength and weakness.
