I am looking at a B&W print I just made with IP5 on the 7600, and can't 
see what you're talking about: looking with 4x, 6, and 10x loupes I 
don't see any "coarseness" whatsoever in the mid- and light-tone areas. 
In fact, the print has the same, or better, smoothness than prints I've 
made with PiezographyBW on the 1160, which produced very "smooth" 
prints owing to the fine dithering of PiezographyBW.
