Aren't regular photographic C prints also affected with metamerism?   I
remember printing them in the darkroom at night, and under tungsten
light, they looked great.  Next morning in Daylight, they appeared quite
different. 

I don't think that the MIS VM inkset has bad metamerism. There's a
SLIGHT shift towards warmth under tungsten lights if you print for
daylight conditions, but it certainly is NOT an objectionable color
shift. Just slightly towards a  brown, in my prints, but just slightly. 
If a print shifts toward green or magenta, that's really not acceptable.
