Martin/Antonis:

Mike Kravit's post is a great one and should be uploaded to 
some Files/Bookmark section. It's a great, objective summary for 
people who are looking to choose.

In addition, I'd add these things too:

* If you are on a 7000, one major difference is that Piezo is PC 
only. If you have a Mac, you much also factor into it a purchase 
and learning curve of running a PC computer to run the printer. 
Not a small detail at all...

* I have had a tough time keeping the lines full on my MIS CFS. I 
have NOT had much success getting emails returned from MIS.

* I too have seen what appears to be not a great black from the 
MIS hextones. But, with time, I think someone could learn to 
manipulate Paul's curves on their own. But it's certainly NOT plug 
n' play, like Piezo seems to be.
