Paul,

I did not refer to the print detail as such but to the crispness of color and color saturation achived with the same amount of gum/pigment on the two papers. Much better on the Rives BFK. It is surprising since the surface is softer with some texture. It does take a bit more concentrated PVA size. I looked around and to my surprise Rives BFK comes in only one flavor, but many colors. It is possible that what was made years ago is a different paper that is sold today.
