Personally, I much prefer the finish proper filling, sanding, etc gives to fins. Papering examples I've seen look so-so in this regard. Plus, if the fin is damaged, the repair is more involved, and the resulting finish looks worse. With age papered fins look like, well, papered. By the time one makes a papered fin look as nice as a properly finished fin, about the same level of effort, perhaps more, is needed. It's an alternative, but not a great one IMO.
