Gary, I agree with you.  But with the prior printer and third party inks and
RIPs a lot was available to the enterprising fellow that demanded it.  Hence
it is not a slam dunk decision - it depends on the person involved and
whether they were/are prepared to go different routes with the old or new
printer.  As John said, they are not concerned with "out-of-the-box" results
(otherwise it would make a decision in favour of the new printers very
easy).

The original post asked in part: ss a 2400 printer loaded with K3 ink and
running QTR better than UT7?  Well it depends on a lot of factors...and only
the individual can decide after, as you suggest, doing their own homework.
