Digital BW, The Print

Sounds like you are assuming you will need to be able to profile to use QTR? Not the case.
QTR is plug and play, as long as you use a paper supported for your printer, or something very similar.
I've had people printing out of QTR using the supplied curves, and supplied grey matte and grey photo profiles, in about 5 minutes.
The 2400 has good amount of papers supported. Free download and then shareware if you are happy is pretty hard to NOT try.
Advantages are-
With the vast majority of curves and curve blends you will be using a skeleton of black and light black inks, with only enough of the appropriate color inks for your chosen hue.
Higher resolution, depending on how the curves were designed, and more rational use of light inks and small dots, so less "dottiness" at close inspection.
Wide variety of hue control, in highlights, mids, and shadows independently.
Highly user customizable if you decide to go all geeky on us. Only then will you possibly need to linearize, or profile, for yourself.
