Gosh, I thought I heard a positive comment about split toning.  No monotone
inkset can match what the UT7 inkset can do in this respect.  It also beats
the PT inks (as well as Epson UC and Archival inksets) in my fade tests.

See my Readme file for the 2200 & UT7 for some details.  It's at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT-2200-Readme.htm .  

Bill Schwab has been running UT7 in a 7600 for some time now.  See
http://www.billschwab.com/digital_bw.html .

If you don't do sepia tone, load a second light carbon cart (LC) into the Y
position (with appropriate chip).

I assume IJC/OPM will work fine with UT7 in a 7600, but I've never tried.
Frankly, I like the Epson driver.  Take a look at some of the 2200 curves to
see how easy this inkset is to control.  These are not the old quad type
partitioning curves.  You can download some of the 2200 curves from my
webpage.  See the index at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/index.htm .

Then again, if you really like monotone, that is what I'm now running in my
7500.  See http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/7500-FS-Readme.htm .

Good luck.
