Take a look at this article, Black & White Chronicles by M. Hobert, in which he did 
spectrophotometric readings on a 9600 w/ImagePrint vs a 9800 with Adv Blk.  His analysis 
may have answered my question if the same holds true for the 2400 vs the 200 w/adv blk.

Yohnny, thanks for your detailed analysis, it did make me think.  I was looking at the 
refillable carts w/MIS inks for the 2200 w/bowhaus RIP being cheaper to use.  However, 
some clever individuals will come along with refillable carts for the 2400 and MIS will (or 
others) will have comparable K3 inks.  

Thanks,

Martin
