Bob,

It is simply the issue of availability. I don't see any quality differences
although in theory the extra nozzles should help. I went from a 1200 to a
1280 which was a big improvement due to all the clogging and banding
problems on the 1200.

At this point it just seems better to get a brand new 1280 rather than
hassle with a used 1160 or trying to importing one and doing the power
conversion.

Software is also something to consider. Some of the new programs may not
support the older printers.
