Just an update to my tests.

Black ink only from an Epson 1270, OEM ink: Very poor performance, few well
delineated Zees, you can really see what tones that grain effect comes from
(3/4 tones).

MIS VM Black only Epson 1160: Mostly as above but even poorer 3/4 tone
performance. I suspect this has more to do with how the 1160 handles the
Black Only function than the different inks.

1270 OEM inks, with good custom RGB profile: pretty good tonal delineation
throughout, would be good if it weren't for the color drift.
