Arista Private Reserve Paper

[cmdrzed]

I just noticed that Freestyle is selling Arista Private Reserve rc paper. I need to order a 250 count box of paper to continue my adventures in darkroom printing. My box of Arista EDU Ultra paper is now empty and the price difference between the two is $4. Could this new rc paper be repackaged Ilford? Would the paper qualities make a difference in printing?

It is very nice paper, contrasty and more sensitive than ilford papers, but very controllable with filters. I believe that it is agfa, but not 100% sure. Check where it is made, that normally gives where Arista is sourcing their house brands.
