Digital BW, The Print

Okay all you gurus out there, I want you to weigh in on this before 
I start flashing my credit card around. I do not have a printer 
suitable for high-quality black & white printing so I'm starting 
from scratch.

Please vote and offer your suggestions/recommendations on (A) or (B) 
as a starting point for an experienced computer user, photographer, 
and darkroom trained b&w printer. Of course, if you have a (C) or 
(D), I'd like to hear about those too.

(A) an Epson 2200 with Eboni inks and Epson Enhanced Matte paper for 
black only (BO) printing as described by Clayton Jones at 
http://www.cjcom.net/articles/digiprn3.htm

(B) an Epson 1280 with the Piezography BW icc system as hawked by 
the InkjetMall at http://www.inkjetmall.com/store/bw2/bw-buy.html

Let's assume for now that I will not be using a CIS and that I'm not 
necessarily looking for the least expensive method.
