Interesting comments on the 5500 (actually the inks!).  

Why not buy a Epson 1200 and PiezoColor Inkset with CIS?

Low Cost, available, custom profiles, little to no metamerism, great technical support and even a group of dedicated users on the PiezoColor forum.

Buy a refurb 1200 and the cost is even lower.

  I just came from B & H. Photo in NYC where they were kind enough to print 
  some of my files on their Epson 5500. We printed onto the museum parchment 
  paper I supplied. I wanted to see a sepia print made on this unit. It was 
  fantastic. It was so beautiful under their lights! Then I walked it outside. 
  My beautiful sepia toned print turned green! I sell many of my images in 
  outdoor circumstances. Even if they like the green, they'll be upset when 
  they get the prints home and they turn brown! The 5500 is an awesome printer. 
  I need an archival color printer now, without metamerism. Does anybody have 
  one that works? (without metamerism). Maybe the MIS variable inks for sepia 
  and something else for color?
  Sorry for ranting,
