The 1280 is probably the best of the bunch.  I can measure the differences,
but most do not see any differences in normal viewing circumstances.  Some
do see the 1160 dots on very close examination.  The 1280, on the other hand
is the smoothest I've measured.

I use the 1160 and find it so good I have no incentive to buy a new printer.
Part of my like for the 4-inker is that it's that much easier to mix new
brews for.  However, even if I was not into mixing inks, I find the quality
so good I have no interest in switching.  The 1160 is a terrific machine, in
my view.
