Digital BW, The Print

I just came from the Epson site and read the specs on the Epson 
Stylus 1280 which seems to be the norm on this newsgroup, and was 
surprised to find it has only 48 nozzles on the black cartridge. The 
new Canon i950 has 512 nozzles on its' printhead to be used for 
printing black ink. My question is--why would I want to buy an Epson 
when the Canon seems to be superiorly suited for the type of printing 
I do?  use Black Only printing and want a printer to reduce the size 
and visibility of the black ink dots. Someone lead me in the right 
direction to make a decision between the two printers. None of the 
retail outlets ever have any way of really printing a real world 
image from one of my image files. I can only rely on input from this 
newsgroup, so plese don't let me down.
