I'd say the 1280 wins on image quality, though most won't see any difference
between the 4 and 6 ink "quads."  If you like to play with inks -- for
example, mixing your own toners, like the sepia toner I've recently
mentioned -- then the 1160 is unbeatable.  Only one ink toner to mix, and 3
v. 5 cart positions to fill when you want to switch color carts.
