Usually I see about a 1.68 with the 1280 and EEM.  I'm really not sure about
the accuracy of the densitometers at that end of the scale.  I was seeing
almost a 0.08 (average) dmax difference between the Piezo and Epson drivers
with my 1160 recently.  So, dmax is clearly one reason to use the Epson
driver.
