Digital BW, The Print

At present I'm using an Epson 1160 and MIS UT inks and getting great 
B&W prints. However I'm planning to do some colour printing and the 
R800 with Epson's own profiles, ink and paper is reported to give 
very good results out of the box. Has anyone done any B&W printing 
with this printer? If so what are the results like? Are the prints 
truely neutral? My UT inks/1160 is setup for matt paper so a R800 
that could print the odd glossy B&W would be a real bonus for me. 

I really just need a good excuse to buy another printer !!!!!!!!!!

Any thoughts anyone.
