> From what Epson has told me I expect to make great B&W "as shipped".

I'll play skeptic here and suggest you (and we all) lower our expectations of 
the 4000 "as shipped" for B&W.  Unless Epson has radically redisgned the 
drivers a la ImagePrint, the best to be hoped for is neutrality in a single 
lighting condition known beforehand, not the elimination of metamerism.  And 
if they have so radically redesigned the drivers, I can't think of any reason why 
such drivers couldn't be made available for existing Ultrachrome printers.

Don't get me wrong: I would love for an Epson ultrachrome printer to produce 
neutral, non-colorshifting B&Ws out of the box.  But I ain't holding my breath.  If 
I'm wrong, I'll buy 2 4000s and take my words back immediately.
