Digital BW, The Print

I'm going crazy trying to choose the "right" quadtone inkset for my 
brand new Epson 1160 (connected to a Mac). Can anyone offer 
any clear guidance? Here's what I've gleaned so far:

If I use Piezo inks & driver:

- I'll get beautiful prints free of microdots, microbanding and 
other nasty digital-looking stuff , but
- it will set me back more than $300
- I'll need to calibrate my monitor, so add the cost of calibration 
tools on top of the $335+ for the software & inks,
- my prints will have a slightly greenish cast under certain 
lighting conditions, and 
- I run the risk that some point my printer will clog up and die a 
horrible death.


MIS inks such as the Full-Spectrum inkset:

- offer better color (less green or metamerism, especially the FS 
inkset) and
- carry less risk of clogging than the Cone/Piezo inks (or so I've 
been reading on this newsgroup). But
- because they rely on the Epson driver, they're still made up of 
little dithered dots or lines or whatever, which is one of the things 
I'm trying to get away from by switching to quadtone in the first 
place.
- Also these inks apparently work with fewer types of papers, or 
so I gather.


Is this all correct so far?

Now I know nothing about the Lyson inks, so I'd welcome any 
info on those, as well as links to websites or groups that 
discuss them.

I've seen some posts here and there suggesting that people 
could use the Cone driver with the MIS FS inks in order to get 
dither-free prints that are less likely to clog and kill one's printer. 
Does anyone reading this have any actual experience doing 
this? If so, what kind of results did you get? Are there published 
workflows for this? Cone recommends against it, of course.

Finally, is there anyone in the Seattle/Puget Sound area doing 
quadtone work who might be interested in showing me some of 
their print samples so I could get a better idea about all this?

Many thanks,
Peter
