The main reasons why I've never used my CIS is that it would stop me from easily switching inksets, and from putting in flush carts and hibernating the printer for periods of printing inactivity. Since the arrival of the SquEasyFill bottles that Jeff mentioned, refilling has become so fast and easy that it's mostly a non-issue. I also like being able to reset all the chips at refill time, whereas with the one CIS that I've used (also for a 2100) did a sequence of auto-resets as each channel separately empties, so you always seem to be flushing ink down the tubes.
You pays your money and you takes your choices.

always used a CIS with these. I did try refillable
cartridges once with my 2200 but it was messy mostly because I am
clumsy. The only problem I was concerned about was the seal. I have
a feeling that pulling the cartridge out of the printer many times
for refilling will deteriorate the seal and the ink may leak.
