The 1200 is a 6 Picoliter printer, while the 860 is a 4 Picoliter printer. Which means the 
860 has smaller dots.

The 860 is the smaller version of the 1160 which excels using Piezotone/FS/FSN inks.

See Roy's Dot page:

Actually MIS does not have inks for the 1200 - it's been in the planning stages for a long 
time.

So my vote is the 860.
