The slightly larger drop of the 1100 has a minor advantage on the 1400 with dilute Eboni.  I think some of the other variables are more important than the minor tone differences, however.  The paper is the huge variable with respect to Eboni-6 tone; the drop size differences are minor.  So, I would not make a decision just on that.  

To me, the ease of a single mixed ink is a large variable where one is mixing their own ink batches.  I'm happy to pay MIS to mix my Eboni-6, but I have to do the dyes myself.  Time is a very scarce resource at the moment.  So keeping it as simple as possible with the dyes wins for me.
