Discontinued my favorite inkjet photo paper... need suggestion for replacement

Have been using Epson semigloss Colorlife photo paper along with Epson
1280 printer with great results. I am disappointed to learn Epson has
discontinued this paper.
Wondering if any of you have suggestion(s) for a replacement high
quality photo paper. Preferably a semigloss, pearl or luster paper to
work well with my dye ink set. Also would be nice to download icc
profiles for the paper that will work with my Epson 1280 printer
driver.

Thanks for any suggestions.

If you go to this page
http://www.inksupply.com/paper.cfm
and run down to near the bottom, you will find some mixed sample packs
you can try to see what you like.

I've been very happy with every thing from Ilford and surprisingly the
Kirkland is excellent as well (Costco Branding 125 sheets 10 mil $19 at
Costco) I and others have thought that it is a thinner version
Ilford's Gallery Smooth glossy, just re-branded.

There's always Epson's Premium Luster Photo Paper. I think it is
overtextured for small prints, but looks good on larger ones.

Thanks Jim.
At this point I think I'm gonna go with Stacey's suggestion and try
the Ilford Galerie classic Pearl. I like the fact the coating on this
paper is manufactured solely for dye inks and not as an afterthought
to the ultra-chrome / archival inks. Hopefully I'll be happy and end
my search with Ilford. If not, I'll surely look into your idea.

Cheers,

Rich are you interested in a Black Cartridge T007 and a short roll of
the 4" paper? I'm not going to use either. Drop me an Email: Yes
it's valid, but the spam filter is set very high.
