Ilford FB single or doble weight paper, tell the diffference?

I cant find single weight 11x14 Illford MGIV FB anywhere. I matte everything, so double weight seems like such a waste.

 

But one thing for sure, you can definitely feel the difference between double and single weight... DW is more like card stock.

The more you say, the less people listen.

As far as I know it, RC papers are not SW or DW.

 

And maybe if someone makes a non-RC paper in only one weight, it also won't be SW or DW.

 

I do remember when I was young, and at least I didn't have RC paper (maybe it hadn't been invented yet),

that SW curls much more than DW.

 

I used to have a Kodak blotter roll that would roll up the prints curved the other way, so they would dry close to flat.

 

But now it is mostly RC, which dries pretty flat by itself.
