I have both MIS and NoMoreCarts systems on 1160 printers. The essential
difference is the type of tubing used:

The NoMoreCarts tubing is very flexible and trouble free. The system is
so neat and compact that the printer cover can stay in place, though it
needs a couple of rubber knobs (supplied with the system) to stop the
cover closing completely.

The MIS tubing is stiffer and can't take tight curves. Attached to the
cartridge is a big loop of tubing that flails around inside the
printer, and sometimes catches around the print head and shuts down the
printer. Grrr! I have to keep tinkering with the bracket that holds the
tubing over the middle of the printer. (I intend to make a new
bracket -- has anyone done this?)

So, to answer the question: Yes, the NoMoreCarts system is better value
even though the price is higher.
