I would say it's the software and the profiles. There aren't yet any low
cost rips or printer drivers for Windows that can easily control a
quadtone setup for the 2200, so this would be the first. I've yet to see
any reports of the actual quality of the software though...

If all you need is the inks you can get the MIS Ultratones for half the
price.
