Yes! I always wondered if it *really* mattered if you used Spanish
paprika when making paella. The answer is "yes - it does". You can get a
set of hot, sweet, and bittersweet for not too much money, though people
in most areas (in the US, anyway) might have to mail-order it. The
smokey flavor is amazing.
