Are you using the Hahnemuhle specified paper settings as they will also affect the quantity of ink laid down? Also are there any instructions on resolution, dither patterns or uni/bidrectional in Hahnemuhle's documentation as these will also impact the situation?
I have to say that I'm not at all surprised that two similar looking surfaces accept ink very differently, as both companies will be using their own proprietary coatings. What is more surprising is that you obtained satifactory results using the Hahnemuhle profile with other papers.
