Thought I'd drop a note regarding this... I had been looking for something to make use of a large stash of FB WT Ilford that had disappointed me in my normal soups. This combo was exactly as you state. It really added some pizazz to this paper for me. The blacks are great with an interesting velvety finish and the highlights sparkle in a way that seems just right for this paper. I'm really glad to have stumbled into this one! Thanks!
