I'd *really* recommend getting some cartridges and trying them out
before you commit a CIS to a particular ink.  I'm using MIS FS-N in a
Niagra (aka nomorecarts) CIS in an 1160 via the piezography driver.
I'd previously been using the original Cone inks in cartridges.  I
collected opinions about the various ink sets, and was able to see
other folks results with a few, but I wish that I'd run some test of
my own before committing.  As it is, I'm ok with the FS-N look, but I
think I'll end up with a second CIS or some carts of something warmer.

It's not the kind of thing that other folks can really decide for you,
it depends on your images, your paper, and your taste.  Try it out.
