Note that on that the review of the 4800, on the luminous landscape,  the reviewer states 
that in his opinon 

"And what about Epson 2400 owners? Though I haven't tested one, and am not likely to at 
this point, it would seem to be a great choice. It doesn't suffer from the same degree of 
ink swapping problems that the larger Pro models do, and offers great value for the 
money. Probably the best photographic printer currently available. Epson 2200 owners 
though might want to think twice about the necessity of upgrading. Improvements are 
there, but not really compelling, especially if the Imageprint RIP is considered."

As for me I am considering a refurnbished 2200 and the Bowhaus RIP vs getting a 2400.  
The pros that I see for this choice are;  1) refillable carts, 2) MIS inks for the Bowhaus RIP, 
3)  profiles available from Bowhaus, and 4) cheaper to print with the refillable carts and the 
MIS inks.

My only question is: are B&W prints from the 2400 better than a 2200 w/Bowhaus RIP (or 
Image Print).  I only print in B&W as a hobbist.
