I think what Martin was hoping from you guys (or I guess I was) was somewhat
less of a question of cost vs cost, but quality vs quality. Is there a way
to quantify how much better a 7000's print might look than an 1160's? Does
it look better? Teeny bit better, or way better?

My guess is that because the 7000s are built to a higher QC standard it's
output might not look all that much better than a great 1160's, like Bernds,
but you're less likely to get a bummer 7000, like Martin's 1200....
