Anyone here in RFF world use Kentmere VC Select Fine Lustre RC paper?

I made the switch to their Fineprint Glossy FB paper and I love the results. I am currently using Ilford RC Pearl and I am looking to try something different. My paper developer of choice is Dektol.

Yes, I use it. I purchsed a big roll (0.6 * 20m) of it, because it was rather cheap and intended to use it for my proof sheets.
Normally I don't like matte surface on RC, but this pearl is really nice. Still not like air dried glossy FB, but nice.
Can't compare to the Kentmere FB, but I like it more than Ilford MG4.
 
I have a few boxes of 9.5x12 and some 8x10 that I am working through. It's very nice to work with. I find that it gives a tone a little warmer than my usual MG4.
I understand (but have not yet tried) that it is a good RC paper for toning.
