While that's true, the amount of ink in negligible.  I own a 13" HP, and that's not a problem.  In fact, I own 3 HP's.  The problem is the quality of the photographic output.  I don't own a 7960, so I can't speak for that.  But, there was absolutely no way to get a good b&w print from any of the HP's I have.  I was also put off by their "why are you bothering me with you photographic needs" attitude.  I still prefer the HP's for office applications.

time you change a cartridge. Sometimes they're off a little, sometimes a
lot.

I would like to try a 7960 to see if the b/w is as good as some say.

You probably are right about these points.  I would be ok with HP's
papers, 
and I like the idea of getting a new printhead with every new ink
cartridge. 
  That would make the higher price worthwhile for me.  I have no
interest in 
"tinkering" with the system, which many Epson ownere seem to do (no 
criticism intended--have fun).
