Default FOMABROM VARIANT III does it LITH?

I have some Fomabrom Variant 111 that was touted as being a good replacement for Agfa's MCC111 when I purchased. That statement not even being close, I was wondering if anyone had tried this emulsion out with a lith process or not? I know that other Foma papers lith very well, but not sure about this one. Now that I've been re-bitten by the lith bug again, I am trying to see what works or not. I did not see this emulsion listed on Tim Rudman's site and have not beeen getting the newsletters for a while... any ideas?

I tried it about a year ago and got really nice results from it. If I remember correctly, it was a nice combination of reds and browns, but I don't remember exactly.

Honestly, I've yet to find a Foma paper that doesn't lith well. The only one I've found that I didn't like too much was the Fomatone Classic VC Cream Fine Art Base Warmtone Chamois finish. Probably because it was touted as a good replacement for Kentmere Art Classic (which it isn't.) It did lith ok, though.
