Kozo recommendations?

So I'm looking at getting some paper from hiromi paper, their rolls are very attractive.

First of all, what are your experiences with MC'ed Kozo. Keep in mind texture/color isn't an issue for me.
How's reversing folds on kozo? I had some experience with Thai unryuu, and didn't find it that good(admitedly it wasn't heavily mc'ed)


Second question would be, which kozo would you recommend, I tend to like fairly light papers as it's easier to double up a light paper ... than splitting a heavy paper:)

The ones I'm looking at are:
http://store.hiromipaper.com/r-012sekis ... mroll.aspx
http://store.hiromipaper.com/r-013sekishuthinroll.aspx
At 55USD per 5mx1m roll, that's 10USD for a 1x1m sheet, which is quite decent.(22USD shipping too for the us)
any other recs?

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure thai unryu is generally 100% kozo... i think they are different names for the same thing

Yes, but kozo paper is made of more uniform fibers, unryu got these big chunks of bark in it.

Wow, so weird. I just got a roll of kozo paper. I must say, it folds wonderfully. It's JUST like sekishu, but I got this roll: http://www.dickblick.com/items/12952-9000/

It's 18 inches by 30 feet or 45 CM by 9.1 meters. It was only 13 dollars... I love it!

Well I hope I helped, but it's super good paper in my opinion
