Well, I can't compare to the piezo's, that's for someone else... (I 
don't use the piezo sets, and even if I had a basis for comparison, 
given my public run-ins with Jon Cone, it would not be fair or proper 
for me to take a position -- as that position would be inherently 
suspect to many)

I can say that the SG images seem sharper, the probably have a bit less 
dot gain, but I don't have objective data on that. In a 1270 or 1280 
either inkset is going to give you imagery that is essentially dotless 
to the naked eye..

If I need the longest lasting images I use the MIS sets..

If I need colors outside the gamut of the MIS set, the SG's do the 
trick.. When I need glossy or Lustre output, I use the SGs...

You give up some flexibility for more archivability with the MIS sets.  

You also need to know that just as the MIS inks don't bond well to 
certain papers, certain matte papers will cause evident metamerism with 
the SGs.
