Digital BW, The Print

My 2200 is in for repair.  So I am kicking around the idea of a back
up printer.  I also have an 820. It is nice for small color prints but
BW is pretty poor.

So for back up I was thinking 1280 or C86.  I could get MIS UTs for
either.  I know the 1280 will print 13x19 but forget that for a moment.

The 1280 can print BO.  Can the C86 print BO?  1280s are at B&H and
with a $100 rebate till they are all gone. Comp USA lists the 1280 as
out of stock and won't ever be again.

C86s are cheap and easy to get.  Most of my prints are @6x9.  If the
C86 did a nice BO job (if it can) I'd go get one today.

Thanks for opinions
