To some extent I agree for the satin finish, but not when used for roleplaying books that are used as reference books rather than linear reading. The gloss paper is not only more durable, from my experience but also everything looks much much better. The glare is minor issue so far haven't had much troubles with it.
In the end is subjective, but for many people, myself included, the heavyweight glossy paper is the best. We still have D&D 3 books that are like new, despite the heavy use on many tables. Compared to the shared Vaesen book that was used weekly for one year and the paper has more wear than the D&D 3 books. Not happy at all.
It will be very costly to "try" for 100 or more euros + delivery just to dislike the product's finish. Probably will be skip until there is run on glossy paper print.
It may seem overly critical to dismiss a book solely based on the quality of its paper or cover without experiencing it firsthand.
We had great time online during Covid with the PDFs and when we purchased for the collection we prepared for the same vibrant colors for the art and overall style. The dissapointment was immence, because the hardcovers feel and look so much different and in the bad way. It was not the same experience with Vaesen - there somehow the satin finish was OK, though I still hope this would be the last product line to use non-glossy paper.
