LOL. You sound like me. 

I choose the 1280 because there is a workflow with the UT2 inkset that let's me 
use the Epson driver instead of QTR. I'm still struggling with QTR but starting 
to get it working with my R200. I'm anxious to see what I can get with the 1280.

Let us know how you fare.  I made the post about prepping the R300, but I have a 
1280s too.  I guess I'll either transition the 1280 to BW only eventually, or 
wind up with a 1400.

If I can figure this stuff out...
