Digital BW, The Print

I guess I've gotten overly excited by the HP.  There still is the issue of lack of color 
cast as compared to the Epson pigment printers.  I think I understand that the C82 
can be used without photoshop but if one prefers to use PS do you think the c82 or 
the r800 will be the better choice? It seems that it's probably too early to know.  As 
you can no doubt tell, I'm about to make a purchase and am hoping for an out of the 
box solution for both color and B&W.
thanks,
Marcello
P.S. Has anyone seen the output from the R800?
