That seems to be the consensus, and what I figured. Oh well. On the shelf 
they go.

That may actually be good for me. My prints don't exactly match my screen 
with the Cone ink, so, if I'm lucky, the FS might actually be closer. Well, 
the inks are cheap enough in comparison that it is worth a set to test. I 
haven't done enough with the Cone ink to have gotten attached to a 
particular aspect, so my inexperienced eye may not notice much of a difference.

Thanks to everyone that responded.
