I assume that output from the 7600/9600 should identical to that from the 2200, is that right? In a review on www.luminous-landscape.com, Michael Reichmann states that B&W prints from the 2200 are so good and free of color casts that he is going to use it for all his B&W work instead of Piezography.

Having seen a couple of your B&W prints at Nina's in Paris, I can see that you're a master B&W printer, so I tend to believe your conclusion rather than Reichmann's.

Do you know how color prints on the 2200 compare to those on the 1280 in terms of color gamut and quality?
