CHEAP WATERCOLOR PAPER: Affordable Cotton Alternatives - How do they compare to Arches?

CHEAP WATERCOLOR PAPER - comparing 3 brands of 100% cotton paper to the "gold standard", Arches. I purchased Arteza, Meeden and Strathmore cotton papers all from Amazon and I'm going to test them out to see how they hold up against Arches paper. I'll be rating the paper on 5 different criteria - make sure you watch til the end to see how they ranked. During the testing, I didn't write the names of the paper on the sheets because I didn't want to be biased while I was observing the performance. I put the names of the brand of each sheet at the end of each section so you know which ones I'm referring to.
