Digital BW, The Print

I have been reflecting on this, and in particular the P400 vs P600 choice. While I have a strong preference for the simplicity and flexibility of the carts-on-head printers, the small format cartridges can be utter PITA at times. Which may have been your R1430 problem.

Now that IJM has refillable cartridges for the P600 and not just a CIS, there are some benefits to that printer. You're far less likely to get cartridge compatibility problems, and you won't get that never-ending, cascading series of head cleans each time one of the ARC chips resets. And much less often refilling. If you don't need to switch inksets and you print often enough for sedimentation not to be an issue, then it's probably the better choice.
