I've purchased the Classic and think the paper quality was very good.

They say "archival," but so what. First of all, most paper is acid free any more. Merely acid free means little. Is it cotton rag or alpha cellulose? And, archival is a storage condition not a viewng condition. Few, if any homes, are an archival situation--constant 40-60% humidity and consistant 50-70-deg.

Modern printing offset printing inks are much more "archival" than an inkjet printer or a photo print from CVS or Wally World.

As far as paper weight, Google "weight of papers" and look at the chart.

The MP statement of 115# means nothing without knowing the type of paper they mean. Likewise, "heavy cover stock" for the Deluxe book means nothing. Is it 50, 65 or 80 lb cover? See what I mean? (Most commercially printed raffle tickets are 50 or 65# cover.)

The books I have had done are a.) high quality paper and binding and b.) as good as what I sent them. I wouldn't worry about the other stuff too much.
