Digital BW, The Print

Lynne,

I use both Lyson Quads and MIS FS.  The only reason I
keep the Lyson set up is for glossy prints and only
for rush jobs.  If it's not a rush job, I still send
out to a pro lab.

In other words, if you don't need glossy prints, I see
no use for the highly metameric Lyson inks.  Lyson
even mentions this on their FAQ.  To paraphrase:  If
you don't like the way your print looks under tungsten
lighting, change your lighting.

Plus, it's less expensive to print with MIS inks
because a couple of people on this list (Paul Roark,
and Jeff Randall - thank you, both) have created
curves to work with these inks, so you don't need any
expensive software.
