Mitsubishi Gekko

Does anybody have any comments, pro or con, about Mitsubishi Gekko, black & white enlarging paper? I am particularly interested in how it might compare to the Ilford papers.

Many Thanks!

I went through a couple of hundred sheets of Gekko this summer, and then moved to Ilford Multigrade IV RC. To me, the Ilford paper has a better tonal range, particularly better blacks. Perhaps the Gekko costs less because it uses less silver? I don't use Gekko any more.
