I just received mine a couple days ago. Initial impressions:
- easy to set up. the machine is nice and solid
- very quiet when printing
- fast compared to 2000P, comparable to 890/1280
- color out-of-the-box rivals professional profiles I had made with 890 and Gen4 
inks. Not perfect (what is), but *predictable*: there is a clear correlation between 
the soft proofing on the monitor and the printed results, which is often not the 
case.
- quality of te color overall is wonderful on the archival matte.
