Digital BW, The Print

Hi all.

 I'm thinking of upscaling to one of the above. Would like input from
those with experience with both in using pigment inks on the 7000.
I'm aware that they seem to be the same base machine with "perhaps"
some slight upgrade differences but have not seen these expressly
deliniated anywhere.

Is there a very strong reason not to consider either one as feasible?
If not, what would be needed in setting up the 7000 to assure success?

I have searched here and in the wide format group for info but would
like current knowledgeable opinions if possible. (without "get a New
printer" bias as I'm stretching here :-)) )

Thanks.
Duane.
